Default Re: Why would I cap?

i think the idea is that we would rather get the other guy to fold so the raging LAG wins the pot. (we want him to have money as much as possible). essentially if this is like a 30BB pot, the LAG's stack will go from 10BB from 40BB and hopefully we will be able to make up the 2BBs we spewed at the end here.

however, im not sure if it works out EV wise. its really hard to estimate.

That makes sense. Maybe you have an expectation of 4BB/100 with him in that seat and 2BB/100 if he's not. Then he'd have to stick around for 100 more hands than he would have otherwise for you to break even. It's an interesting idea, I don't think you make up the 2BB in the future though.
