Comment on the hand. Pretty sure I like it but not 100% on river. How do people feel about capping?

I like it too. I don't cap this; what hands does a typical villain 3-bet that you beat? I'd say you're best less than 50% of the time here, so a cap is not for value. Maybe I'm too conservative about what a typical party 2/4 player would bet/3-bet the river with after calling down, but it smells better than 2 pair.

I like the river. SB's most likely hands are QJ or J7 so the raise is good. I don't cap it either.

Nice hand, can't see any way to play the other streets. Against more aggro opponents checking the flop might be best but against avg 2/4 players I like the flop bet.

Yeah until people wake up and start cring flop vs me I bet them with near impunity.
