Preflop Capping
All of these examples take place in a SH game.
1)Suppose you open-raise from the button. The small blind 3-bets. The big blind folds. Which hands will you cap here? 2)Suppose you open-raise from the cutoff. The button 3-bets. Its folded back around to you. Which hands do you cap here? 3)Suppose the button open-raises. You 3-bet from the SB. The button caps. Which hands do you call his cap with?

Re: Preflop Capping
Not trying to be cute but 1/ and 2/ are pretty opponent dependant.
1/ Something like AQ, AJs, 88, KQs 2/ Something like AK, AQs, JJ Maybe more hands against some... 3/ [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Seriously? Ok 23o (if I had misclicked 3-bet).

Re: Preflop Capping
They are all fairly opponent dependant really. But that doesnt mean there arent good and bad answers to the questions.

Against a SB that is rather clueless and doesn't understand blind stealing scenarios, I cap down to TT and AQs. Against an opponent capable of resteailing with A8s, KTs, etc., I cap much more liberally. Down to A8s and 88 or 77. Scenario 2 I'm a little tighter. Down to JJ and AQs. This is tougher to just generalize, though.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone fold to a reraise in limit poker. [/ QUOTE ] You need to improve your table selection [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Seriously though, its rare. And when it happens the player in my experience has always been awful.

But it is terribly rare, and any good player should never do it. As in, the OP shouldn't be even considering it.

Re: Preflop Capping
Position is HUGE.
1: Can cap liberally, especially against a frequent defender, myself starting with AJs and probably any pp over 88, but of course is opponent dependent. 2: When OOP I would be much more cautious, only capping with AK and pp JJ and over. If the button is a good player and knows you've been stealing light I might cap with AQ and down to 88. 3: You would NEVER fold for one more bet pf getting 8:1 HU.

Re: Preflop Capping
In scenario 3, you wouldnt consider folding to a cap if the capper is a tight player who doesnt seem to steal?

Probably the most important part for anyone [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] And actually I have never ever seen anyone 3-bet and fold to a cap preflop...
