and?

he's got KK/AK/AQ thinking you've got QQ probably....?

[PokerBob]

I HATE it when people don't cap pre-flop w/ AA. Cuz when I have KK, I feel like I'm in the lead. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif Nice move. I hope you won.

Unless button is a clown and would 3-bet with 66 or Axs, without any specific read I'd cap here...Oh wait.

Maybe you should just call the 3-bet.

So you passed up on a gauranteed 1 BB PF, so you could make more money on later streets.

This time you made 2 BB on the end for a net gain of 1 BB.

I dunno, I just see this play all the time and I don't understand how its really worth it. Is KK going to fold on the flop if you cap PF? I doubt it.

I understand this play in HU situations, but I think you are giving up too much when other players are in the pot.

Hi

When it´s 3 or more to the flop I dont mind giving my hand away by capping preflop.

Heads up I would just call the 3bet.

[Alobar]

I cap pre flop....you're missing out on bets all those times he 3 bets you pre flop with hands that don't warrent it and then the flop and turn comes rags and he folds to your river bet

[Saborion]

I'm not sure where you're getting at with that "and?"? Almost sounds as though you thought I was bragging, while I was merely looking for opinions.

[Saborion]

KK is not going to fold, neither would QQ or JJ. I was trying to be smart, bet, the flop, hoping for a raise, then CR the turn and... well. Maybe I should play them more straightforward.

[Saborion]

Yes. You're right. I was somehow, not thinking really (as usual), trying to keep the other player in for a little longer. Not sure what I was doing.

[Saborion]

True.
