bad beat or bad play?

[tyler_cracker]

i can't give you a number because it depends on a lot of stuff. who is the raiser? what are our relative and absolute positions?

it's more about the situation. in the case of the OP, i would advocate capping with a variety of hands (KQs, ATs, JJ).

i think you have the basic idea here:

you might be a slight dog to the 3bettor, but a good favorite against the rest so that making 'em all play max pf makes sense

what did he have a set of 8s or a set of 5s? either way your play was fine and he lost bets by not capping the turn and raising the river.

Right, the hands were: UTG+1 had T9o, BB had Q5o. Yeah I lost it, I just couldn't bring to my mind, that he (UTG+1) had something to beat me since he was very loose, I put him on a flush draw..Also I didn't cap preflop because I thought AJs isn't a strong enough hand to cap preflop, I only do this with AA-QQ and AK.
Thanks for your opinions so far!
