What's the question?

This is standard, imo.

I think if it's capped at 4 bets i'd definitely cap the turn, then call the river if he leads. If not, I think I'd 4-bet and call down if 5-bet.

The turn lead looks a whole lot like the Q helped his hand, which looks a lot like a worse two pair. I guess otherwise he be on some dumb slowplay with a set or a worse two pair.

Online, I cap the turn.

But, I've heard live players tend to be less aggressive (I dont play live much) and this might shift it to a call.

With no read, however, I think I still like a cap (assuming its a cap.. is it??).

Also.. is it 4/6 or 4/8?

[einbert]

Is the limit seriously $4/$6? How strange.

I cap the turn if the limit is four bets, just call down if there's no cap on the betting.

However, if the big bets are only 3/2 as big as the small bets, that leads me to believe that people are going to play more loosely and aggressively on the big bet streets. If this is the case, I 4-bet and call down a 5-bet.

I'm leaning towards capping the turn. That's a strange line from SB and it feels like a worse two pair to me. If he bets into me again on the river, then I'd just call.

After his actions and 3-bet, something just seemed really fishy. I guess this is the difference between online and live: online you don't get to see people make these sorts of actions.

For those that cap, what do you think he would have to play in this way?

It was a $3/6 game, not $4/6 /images/graemlins/blush.gif
