AKs...3 bets to me preflop

I work for a florist, so as you might expect I haven't had a whole lot of time for poker in the last few days. This hand happened about 2 orbits into my first session back.

I didn't have more than 30 hands on any of the EP/MP players, so no real reads there. The BB in this hand is extremely tight over ~150 hands (10% VPIP).

1 fold, UTG+1 raises, MP1 calls, 1 fold, MP3 3-bets, Hero....?

To cap or not to cap?

I'm capping this every day and twice on sundays.

Are either of you curious to see if it's capped by UTG+1, tho? Or someone else?

PF, I don't much care about reads with AKs...cap...

Cap.

Fair enough.

I just called the 3 bets. Four to a 2-hearted rags flop, caught the flush on the river. Oddly enough, it was checked to me on every street even though I didn't cap. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Good point. That is the only value in not raising and I don't see a problem with it.

I cap because if it's 3 handed, I will take down the pot on occassion with a bet.
