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.

Re: Preflop Capping
I don't think I've ever seen anyone fold to a reraise in limit poker. This why I hate that scene in rounders.

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. |

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... |
