Hands to cap preflop
Let's say villains raises about 7-10% preflop (of course they reraise less) and are reasonable good postflop.
1. You're OOP HU vs a reraiser. Which hands do you cap except for the more obvious ones (AA-QQ and AKs)? 2. You act behind a raiser and a reraiser. Which hands do you cap (except for the obvious AA-QQ, AKs, AK)? Are you calling any hand?

1) 2a)I'm not capping AK, probably not AKs either. 2b)I may call JJ or TT in certain situations. [/ QUOTE ] So you only cap QQ, KK, AA? That seems like a pretty small range. What if you are on the button with AKs, UTG (weak-tight) raises, MP3 (idiot, real tool, a raise means he has two cards) 3-bets? You are just going to call? You're going to fold?

[ QUOTE ] Loc: 1/2 -> 2/4 [/ QUOTE ] Uh, 1/2 -> .25/.50 if you're seriously asking this question. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe I can add a hand or two that I don't cap today. I havn't actually given this much thought. I'm a winner at all limits I've played, but I also feel "lost" in many preflop situations even though this one isn't the biggest problem. Generally I don't cap AKo OOP unless I opened in something like MP3 and villains range of hands is bigger. Also, I've seen people recommend calling with JJ in situation 2 instead of raising which maybe could be good. Which hands do you cap in these situations?

QQ on a K high board? Will he let go of AK when he misses on the turn? What is this persons 3-betting range? How much tighter does your capping range have to be than his 3-betting range?

I havn't actually given this much thought. [/ QUOTE ] Well, that's pretty insulting to us, now isn't it? But, this only adds to my point, to-wit: if you're trying to get people to give you hard-and-fast rules about what hands you should be capping preflop, based on the information you gave us, then you really don't understand anything about preflop play, and very little about limit poker, and should be considering staying at lower limits until you've solved these problems. And, kerowo, stop being a dick. It's not a very good question, he's only trying to answer it in the spirit it was asked.
