I don't cap PF OOP with 99

This isn't like there was a raise from UTG, a 3-bet from an MP player, and he capped from the SB. It's a different situation He is opening from MP3. A player on the button's 3-bet range here is wider. I think he often has the best hand, so the cap is not bad. He also keeps the initiative in the hand until he checks the flop.

Good point. I'm changing my mind--capping isn't bad here.

he could very possible do a 3-bet here with Axs and A10+ since I am a LP raiser and villain is actually a pretty good player.

"Good" players at .5/1 don't iso-raise Axs preflop.

They do against a LP raise from me. Forgot to say that.

Yeah, I see what you're getting at. Good points.

Re: Correct fold?
 

I'm not wild about capping out of position pre-flop...I probably wouldn't do it. 99 could be ahead, but how do you play it when one of the 20 overcards comes on the flop?

With capping PF, on the flop I think you have two choices...bet out or check-raise. If you get raised or 3-bet, then you can call and fold unimproved on the turn...or dump it right there.
You showed aggression pre-flop and shut it down on the flop...screaming 'I have an underpair'.

The way you played it, when you got to the turn, you had to fold.

The reason I capped it preflop is that he could very possible do a 3-bet here with Axs and A10+ since I am a LP raiser and villain is actually a pretty good player. I check/call the flop since that A surely hit him and for just a tiny bet I get to see the turn.

If the flop was Q high, I bet out here 100% of the time. I was sure I was beat here tho.

Then why'd you call his bet. You certainly weren't getting odds to a set and you are sure enough you're beat, what's the value in a call? At least a bet may get a hand better than ours to fold and if we are raised can safely let it go...

10, J and a Q won't scare me.

But yes, I see now that a bet/fold would be better for my flop action. I dont regret the preflop cap and I wont change until someone gives me a good explanation to why I shouldn't do it.

Then you should fold. You don't have the odds to continue.

you should have a fairly broad 3bet range OTB here, including Ax down to at least ATs, maybe a little lower

depends on how the MP3 tag plays I might really open up if MP3 plays weak postflop in general,
