I wouldn't have capped a BB 3-bet. The turn is weird, can you fold here? Seems to me that a king would have c/r'd you, not sure raising again is the right play either. Dunno, looks ok I guess.

I wouldn't HU or 3way, but I figure I've got more than 20% equity here.

Except for the pf cap, this all looks good. You should pick up a good read on MP1 regarding his stop and go, but usually it means a made hand that isn't trip kings.

Re: TT - Did I misplay anywhere here?
 

I wouldn't cap this preflop, but I think it's OK. Many times this will buy you a 4-card flop in which to hit your set.

You might consider raising the turn. You might get JJ-QQ to fold and you want to fold UTG+1 if you are ahead and he's holding overcards to your TT. MP1 will be unlikely to 3-bet anything but a full house in this spot as he has to fear AK if he's holding Kx. Check behind on the river if your turn raise is called. If 3-bet by MP1, I think you can fold even though you will be close to getting the odds to call.

I'm surprised everyone is advocating not capping PF, I thought that was one of the easier descisions I made. What hands are you putting the limpers on that I don't have my equity to cap? If I was SB, I could see what you were saying, but I've got great position too.

My first reaction to the pre-flop cap was negative as well. On reflection, though, I'm pretty sure you have more than 20% equity against almost any range of hands that doesn't include an overpair (barring one of your tens sitting in another pocket).

Re: TT - Did I misplay anywhere here?
 

The pf cap buts 20SB in the pot. Now imagine that you get the best situation on the flop: you have an overpair, and a bet comes from your immediate right and you can raise.

You're still giving everyone 11.5:1, and they're correct to call with overcards. Even 1 overcard is a marginal call once a couple people call. This isn't what you want with tens.

Basically there are a ton of cards that can beat you, and you are making the pot so big that you won't be able to control the hand.

Without the cap the pot will be 15BB. With a bet to hero's right and hero's raise, he'll still be giving the first caller 9:1, and any subsequent callers 10:1 or more. Isn't this a time to give up a small opportunity for protection to push an edge with pot equity?
