i would be shocked if any high stakes player folds a2s here.

Shocked? I'm pretty sure I'm not considered a nit and I easily muck A2s here. What are saying that most cap or call here. Either seems quite bad, for one your flop position sucks terribly.

Capping could fold the BU, leaving the BB capper with overlay + position + initiative?

The button folds very rarely to the cap in my experience, I would much prefer capping t9s vs A2s here.

im like the loosest player ever and i fold most of these hands

[DeathDonkey]

I'd also be curious about 67s, 78s,...JTs, I think we can agree QJs is just getting capped every time.

i usually just call a QJs or JTs type hand. i can see the merits to capping though, and i'm sure i do it "sometimes"

[Victor]

well i guess everyone just plays them when im in the sb then. proly profitable since im easy to beat.

That is extremely wishful thinking IMO. Why would the button surrender his position 3 handed when he's already open-raised in a LHE game? There have been arguments made by LHE experts that 3 handed it is sometimes theoretically proper to straddle on the button every hand--although I do not completely agree with this, I think it would be idiotic for the button to fold to a cap in this spot.

I still think Axs and Kxs hands are folds here given the opponents you described. If you cap I guess you are praying you are up against QT and QJ or some middle pair to which you're not dominated. Doesn't sound very +Ev to me.

[UMTerp]

I realize that "x" implies a weak kicker, but at what value does the "x" become a cap against "typical" opponents? That's probably a better question.

A8s and K9s? Too loose/tight?

I can't imagine cold-calling any of these hands is ideal.

button raises and SB 3towns? all of these hands are folds.

Why?

because you don't have anything and you are stuck in the middle between 2 guys and you are going to make bad-payoff hands when you hit and ugh i can't beleive this is really even a question.
