Default Re: I really like my thought process here - AA vs. weak-tight BB

I disagree here. If villains read is that this player is tight, but weak-tight, he'll often make 2-4 SB worth of mistakes postflop by us not capping preflop. If we cap preflop and lead, he may not raise JJ figuring us to be on AK/AA/KK/QQ/JJ/TT. If he's a known weak-tightie he almost certainly wont raise.

Now if we do not cap preflop, or flop c/r looks like it comes from the board - our most obvious holding being a T. Now he 3bets his JJ and we can either cap or wait to raise the turn.

4betting narrows our range to the point where a thinking player (even if he's not that good) will make better decisions. If he was a LAG I say cap away because he's going multiple bets on multiple streets anyway if he's got JJ-KK.
