Re: TT gets capped.
Turn the queen into a three and our equity is even worse if AQ isn't a possible hand. Even if you can include AQ, our equity is < 50%. The correct way to play these kinds of hands is just to be passive and let him dictate the action. Raising for information is also a fine play against the right kind of opponents, but you have to be careful with it against unknowns.
The reasoning behind these hands is that we have somewhere between 35-50% equity on the flop, so it is usually +EV to calldown. We don't have enough to mix it up unless we can find a fold when villian plays back. It is tough to know what an unknown or tricky person will playback with, so we just opt to look him up (if an ace doesn't hit).
