[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Any quick notions as to why this is so? [/ QUOTE ] People suck at the poker [/ QUOTE ] HAHAH, yeah probably. As far as what some others have said about it being a red flag and giving your hand away, would exploiting this perception by 4-betting with a wider range of hands be less profitable than just calling (every time)? I'm serious here, and maybe it's because the people I've watched have sucked at poker, but I cannot recall a single cap before the flop in high stakes heads up limit holdem, even in games with a lot of 3-betting. Considering position, it just seems strange for the passive play to be prevalent. [/ QUOTE ] The solution is defiantly not to stop capping. You need to effectively mix your play. If you get too much respect on your caps you cap less good hands and cap more hands that benefit from the fold equity. |

There are many times when I knowingly had the best hand either preflop or on the flop but I chose not to cap . You gain much more when you can jam the turn than jam the flop . [/ QUOTE ] This is true, but people tend to play worse (make more significant mistakes) vs. pf and flop aggression then turn aggression. For example, you're much more likely to have someone bluff 3-bet and bet down if you raise the flop rather then the turn. Of course, you shouldn't always employ early aggression, but you shouldn't fall into the trap of always waiting either. |
