Just basically an odds question. I was thinking I was getting 6-1 and plenty of scare tactics by capping preflop here. In retrospect, I think I would've been better off getting 9-1 on calling. However, I'd lose scare tactics and pot size. Been playing so much shorthanded that haven't capped on a speculative hand preflop lately. What should my thinking (math equation) be to decide whether to cap preflop? Are 3 people enough to cap? Thanks so much to any advice.
(btw. nevermind my failed cr on river. That was stupid. Also turn play is questionable. I think I could've been wrong on every street here)
