Here is a hand played by The Truth.

UTG is 23/11/1 after 70 hands.
UTG+2 is 36/7.5/.75 after 80 hands.
MP1 is 21/8/.8 after 23 hands.

I know sample size against those opponents is small, but it's all we've got.

What does UTG's flop check/cap mean?

What's your action on the turn? The pot is getting huge, but all three of your opponents showed aggression on the flop? Can The Truth's one pair still good (or have enough outs if it's not)?

Set, nut flush draw, or big draw are the most common check capping hands.

I think you played this hand perfectly
