Never stop firing?
Online 3 handed $40/80 game. I haven't seen the villain showdown a hand yet but so far seems like a standard aggressive type (ie. 3 betting out the SB to button raises and continuation flop bets).
He opens from the SB and I 3 bet T8s from the big blind. He caps. Flop is A62 with 2 of my suit. He bets I raise he calls. Turn is an offsuit 3 and he check/calls. River is a Q and I fire away again because the all mighty T high might be the best. He calls and I lose to 77. Lately I've been experimenting with firing on all streets with draws and thus far have had mixed results. I never used to be a 3 barrel guy but recently implemented it on occassion when I started to notice that when I was playing the $100/200 at the Bellagio some guys would check/call, check/call, check/fold with say mid pair against guys who only fire twice. How do we feel about this approach online? I guess the line is way better if he didn't preflop cap. Any thoughts on the hand would be appreciated.

Re: Never stop firing?
In some sense you've already fired three barrels, counting the preflop 3-bet.

I think as soon as it gets capped preflop you should abandon any thoughts of a pissing contest unless you know he is really good. [/ QUOTE ] My thoughts exactly. Capping pf is a way of someone accidentally telling me they are going to showdown their hand 99% of the time.

The game is running 3 handed and when it is that way people are capping much more lighter than usual. I might cap stuff like JTs,89 which has no showdown equity in the hope that someone with K-Q high will give up before the river and let me win the pot UI.

Mig,
I wouldn't characterize your play as "standard aggression", more tricky. My statement was with regards to this particular opponent. Also in this case villain was OOP.

[/ QUOTE ] If villain's capping range is this wide then my comment is incorrect. I assumed a range comprised almost entirely of big Aces and pairs.
