Re: preflop equity

Furthermore, the inititative is a BIG BIG deal. Even with the preflop action....there is still a chance of the flop being checked around to you, the capper.

When I see the pot get capped by someone who did not already put in a bet or raise, I don't draw the conclusion that they have a good hand. I draw the conclusion that they figure it is going to get capped anyway, they want to play, and they mine as well be the capper.
I would not check any flop 9 handed from an early position if I had any pair or any draw. I seriously doubt you will hardly ever get 8 people checking to you.
This is a completely absurd situation IMO because in the games I play in there are rarely more than 6 players to a flop in an unraised pot, and more than 4 in a raised pot.
