New poster. Flop question
 

Hi. New poster here with question on a hand I had recently. This is from Pacific so I will be trying to do the hand manually. Only read on villian is that he is playing pretty solid compared to the rest of the table. On a previous hand he bet into a pre-flop raiser from the BB with two pair.

Pacific Poker .25/50 7 Handed

Hero is UTG +1 with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls. Hero Raises. 3 Folds. SB calls. BB calls. UTG calls.

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Villian bets. <font color="red"> </font> BB folds. UTG calls. Hero Raises. <font color="red"> </font> Villian Raises. <font color="red"> </font> UTG calls. Hero? <font color="red"> </font>

Should I cap this flop against only three remaining opponents? Thought I may be up against Ace rag or a set from villian. Thanks for any input, these forums have helped alot since I found them.

Yes. Cap. You make money from every bet that goes into the pot.

I'd say raise it up, but I'm newish too. I *know* these ranges aren't all encompassing, but the point is you can't precisely put the villain on 66 or 22. There's at least a few other hands in there, which gives you the edge. Against just 66 and 22, you still have just under 30% (ish) equity.

I definitely cap the flop here--you have enough equity here to cap the nut flush draw. Add the made pair with Q kicker and you should definitely cap.

Re: New poster. Flop question
 

Easiest cap ever. Top Pair with Q kicker, I think you are good already alot of the times. Cap it.

Re: New poster. Flop question
 

I grunch... yes you cap. Your hand will win a HELLA lot of the time. I want as much in that pot as I can possibly get.

Re: New poster. Flop question
 

*grunch*
Raises. I think this is correct because a) there is a caller who is likely to call it. You got the nut flush draw so if utg has flush draw also he will go to war if the third [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] drops in.
b) You got the top pair with good kicker. If you are against trips you still got outs to your flush and sure for your third ace [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img].

Just in case you didn't know, if someone has a set and Hero hits a set of Aces, villain will now have a full house [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
