Your capping range should be wide enough to disguise your monsters like JJ here.

Sorry to revive this thread again, although I find it interesting.

You are the third poster to have said (although you are only implying) that it is good to disguise your monster. I don't see any reason for that.

If you cap preflop the pot will become 12 SB. If someone outdraws you on the turn he will win _at least_ 15 SB. That means that you want hands as bad as 3 outers to fold.

You want your opponents to call with 0-outers (T-high, no-pair, no-draw). They however won't call a flop bet no matter how disguised your hand is.

On the other hand you _want_ your opponents to _fold_ 3+ outers (any gutshot, overcard, small pair). So you are only happy if your opponents put you on a monster range!



Why do you talk about disguising your hand?


If I'm wrong please tell me. If I'm right please comfirm.


Thanks!
