When I last looked the full games were really, really tight. Time of day may make a difference, of course.
Also the No. Seeing Flop figure shown in the Lobby is misleading. I don't know why but...

Capping as an Escape Route
Lots of questions about this hand, not least of which is the PFR.
After about 100+ hands CO is V$IP60/PFR25 and has been auto-stealing when folded to the in the CO/Button/SB. Post-flop he will run...

Good good, plenty of food for thought.
I actually believe, of course, that it is correct ot raise hands like this PF. I do not do it all the time, I suspect the reason I did not do so here was...

Raise the turn. It may look like you're trying to isolate the all-in guy and that in itself may induce some 2BB calls.

Overcall with the 2nd Nuts?
An interesting choice to make here on the Turn.
TABLE CONDITIONS: Playing quite loose with overall (table) V$IP around 30%. BB is average/weak V$IP25/05. Button and CO are quite new, I have less...

Re: AQ off
The problem is that so many posters just naturally assume that SB has adjusted to 4-handed and is liberally 3-betting.
BUT
We do not know anything about SB's 3-betting standards.

I agree. I doubt capping PF adds much value here without knowing more about SB's 3-betting standards. Yes, Hero has position but there are many players in the Stars $5/$10 game that will only 3-bet...

Re: worsdt mistake in poker
Exactly, safely folding aghainst the right opponents will induce more River bluffs from others.
Of course you must have reliable reads and NO you won't garner all the required information from PT.
