Re: standard cap for value / free card?
Since you're in position, you could call down when 3 bet. This way you reserve the right to raise a big street when you hit your draw - better implied odds. You also see a showdown, which in the 30,000 foot view seems a lot better than building a big pot and then folding top pair.
Honestly, this probably all depends upon how your range reacts as a whole after open raising in the cutoff, calling a 3bet, raising this flop, and then getting 3bet. I'm not smart enough to figure that out. Good luck! |

If hes that tight...he isnt giving you a free card often enough to make this worth while as he has an overpair a lot here...you probably have around 14 outs which is a slight dog...with it heads up I think I just call the 3bet.

Yeah but with 14 outs vs an overpair its reallly close to 50/50 so he doesnt need to get the free card very often.
Besides. Pissing of nits is funny. |

It looks good to me.
Edit/disclaimer: If Villain would play AKo this way (and then would bet the river after you take your free card), then it sucks (as would taking any line that involved folding). |

[/ QUOTE ] I dont disagree...just feel like the cap may be a bit of a spew albeit maybe just a small one. It probably is a lot closer than even I am thinking though. |

Guys, what everyone seems to forget in these spots, is that by doing this you probably wont be able to raise a later street when you hit your draw. Also, I wouldnt mind button peeling here. I just play it passively.

I like the first raise but not the cap. imo the cap is not for value, you are not often getting a free card when behind, and you will have the initiative when ahead.

Re: standard cap for value / free card?
I'm not sure it matters. When we cap the flop, are we checking behind on the river unimproved? What happens when KK check-raises a blank turn? We lose a fair amount in that scenario. Capping the flop does prevent that from happening though, since we are repping a set (AA would be a stupid hand for us to have considering our preflop play). But since a set usually waits for the turn to raise, BB might be smart to c/r.
But I don't think it matters much if we plan on checking the river unimproved, because certainly we cannot expect to be winning on the river often enough to bet. In this spot I just call the 3 bet and hope to improve or see an overplayed AK/AQ/KQs/77/99 etc. |
