Preflop cap w/ AKo

[fmsr]

Villain is 18/15/1.5 over ~50 hands.

Is this a standard cap? After his 3bet I put CO on AK,QQ+ because of his stats. Do you find a bet anywhere on turn or river?

this hurts my eyes

flop cap is totally standard but your flop raise sucks. you aren't ahead and you're going to get 3bet a lot

Why are you raising the flop if you think he has QQ+ and AK? What worse hand will call and what better will fold?

Why would you bet the turn or river if you put him on QQ+ and AK? For the same reasons as above.

BTW if his range is QQ+ and AK then you should prolly fold preflop.

Sorry about the initial mess with the history, fixed it.

Welcome to the forums.

How is UTG? This is relevant in determining CO's range. If he is a huge lag then the CO could be isoraising a lot of hands here. If he is super tight, your range could be accurate.

With the info you have given I think your range is too small. He raises 15 percent of his hands, which probably means he 3 bets with TT and JJ as well as AQ, AJs and probably other lower hands. I would cap it.

Yes, the cap is standard. A few things:

1. If you put him on QQ+ or AK, you shouldn't cap. This range, though, is ridiculously tight.

2. Don't raise the flop. He's betting intending to 3-bet really often and raising serves no purpose anyway.

3. Call his flop bet and probably fold the turn. I don't think he does this with something random like KJ often enough to warrant calling down here.

So you are playing 1/2 at a site with a steep rake schedule and the best table you could find had a 30/20 and 18/15 guy to your right?

At the time the tables were crowded so I joined the waiting lists on reasonably loose tables and this was the first one I got to. I admit that I won't receive the Table Selection Academy Award here [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Preflop is fine, the flop raise makes no sense to me. I think I call/call/fold here.
