i got carried away and capped the 3-bet. villain is 55/16/0.76. he's been trying to play back at me all night, defending with T2o 52o and the like

the way the hand played out, sexy or no sexy its probably capped on the river. guess the real question is what he needs to 3-bet. Would he do it with just trip Js or T9 for the straight.

I'd probably lead the river myself. If he has J8 or QJ I lose money.

I like the river cap anyway; it's not like you can be reraised. Apparently this guy had a hand, but I don't think he's aggressive enough to go for the river CR, unless you have specific read on his river play.

But if you really think he must have had either a flush draw or a straight draw, then you must check the river. But this villain looks retarded, so I wouldn't bank on that, and you'll still get action from the straight.

Wow, my mind is as thick as pea soup. Now I just want to go back to lurking and see what people say.

The sexy doesn't look too bad. A flush draw would probably fold here and might try to bluff. A queen or a jack would likely bet, figuring you for a missed draw.

The cap looks fine, except maybe for the villain's low AF, but I still think it looks good.

In general, if you have no player tendency reads, and you have a hand strong enough hand to bet/3bet the river, just betting will usually be better than sexying since you always gain a bet from a weak calling hand that wont bet, and sometimes you get to 3bet.

If you had a read that the villain would bet with more hands than he will call with on the river then i like this sexy.

About your cap: You did not get carried away. This guys not that passive. This is a standard cap.

Not sure if the sexy is right, but I like the river cap. It would be surprising if he beat you, but if he did he surely deserves a bone anyway for playing back at you with T2 and 52 all night. LoL.

I've found players with those stats to be the calling station types, so a look at his showdown stats may support this. As such, I wouldn't risk a check through on the river and bet so that A high and low pairs can call. I can go either way with a river cap or call down; it mainly depends on his ability to read hands. But generally people with those stats are apes that will auto 3-bet trips there. As there are more combination of trips than full houses that beat you, capping looks good.
