Re: Cap preflop to get heads up w/ 88 here?
[ QUOTE ]
i don't think they will ever fold. i'd cold-call to allow two things:
- see if UTG caps
- allow SB to auto-bet his last chip on the flop, giving you a perfect opportunity to fold missed overcards after you see a nice flop
i think the cap just bloats the pot and prevents you from ever facing anyone with two bets. now overcards will always see the turn card, and possibly the river.

Yup, that's about the size of it.
A point worth remembering is that if you win this pot you will virtually always get SB's last $5 no matter how you play it. You are getting 2-1 practical odds on your cap instead of the nominal 3-1 odds for three callers. The point is that your cap is not fetching new money from SB into the pot. All you are doing is moving his flop contribution into the preflop. It won't make the pot any bigger in the end.
