Does no one like a cap preflop?

We're betting purely for value PF, and I don't see what 3-betting hands we're extracting value from by capping it as you suggest (or at least mention). Since we need to fear most any broadway card if one flops (either because they're big and suited, AKo, or a bigger pocket pair), we're giving reverse implied odds in a sense with 99 here. Hero will be paid off equally well when a 9 hits the board whether he just calls PF or caps it, and of course not putting that last bet in PF means we have some added ability to manage the odds we offer our opponent later in the hand. Calling seems clearly better than capping, IMO.
