Default Re: Not capping w/ JJ...dunno why but...

I may be in the minority here, but this post was a little surprising:

I can't imagine why you would want to cap it with jacks preflop. Is he on average rasing with such a weak hand that you want to tie him to the hand until the river? If so, he is probably so overaggressive I'd rather trap him anyway.

I also don't see what raising does for you on this flop. If I felt I could raise, I would wait for the turn to drop his AK. Raising the flop should announce a) you don't have a queen and b) you have a middle pocket pair to most players, which is bad because it's exactly what you have.
