Capping flop is good , otherwise played well.

Although I do see a lot of people calling down after the 3-bet on the flop too

Cap the flop with your read, he could be doing this with AT, 99 and 88 or maybe even KTs.

Of those hands, versus 88 we're toast and versus 99 we don't want to cap and drive out, so that only leaves a very aggressively played AT and perhaps a KTs.

buck,

you don't have to add too many combos of spazzily-played AK to make the cap profitable.

plus, i won't be tempted to raise on a big street if i cap the flop and villain keeps leading into me.

ahahah just did a 3-day intro type course in that shiz on work's coin.

I probably play it the same but I dont think capping the flop is bad either.

I haven't long sat down in this game. I only have a handful of hands on villain but he's played a third and raised half of them. What concerns me is the flop raise. Good or bad? I'm thinking that worst case I get the other guy to fold and increase my chances down the track if I'm behind. I call the turn because I picked up a gutshot, and the river because AT, a lower pair or an AK that is bluffing are possible

As I stated in another thread, you call on the river due to size of the pot. You have to consider what the pot is laying you. If the pot is tiny then of course you'll fold more readily. In this case it's easy, you call. I will say that IMO you're a big dog on the river but the pot is laying you a great price.
