Re: Capping as an Escape Route
I can't comment on PF, since I still have to fold this to a LAG. K9s is not a strong enough hand to isolate for my liking. K9s is more of a hand I'd like to get into a multi-way pot with in late position.
On the flop, you have to ask yourself one question, do you have the best hand? If so, then call and turn raise would seem best, especially if this were HU.
The uberfish cold calling the whole way is a bit disturbing though. Will a flop cap make him fold? Ideally, you'd like to see him go away, as your top pair is vulnerable here.
So my preference here is to cap the flop. If he leads the turn, call down. If not, obviously keep the pressure on.
This is LAG specific advice of course. I would not play it this way against a standard opponent.
