Villian is Loose and Agg Pre Flop, but not overly so after the flop.

The hand felt like a complete disaster, but I'm also in the midst of a 75BB downturn. Any comments would be appreciated.

A fold on the flop, the turn, or the river are all acceptable depending on the villian.

I fold the flop.

Even with a capped pot pre-flop? There's almost 10 small bets before the action starts and nearly 13 when it gets back after the raise.

I would have only capped preflop because of the read. Which is overly aggressive preflop.

Now that same read says not so aggressive post flop.
The villian just told me in no uncertain terms with his flop raise: "stick your 'preflop cap and continuation bet' in your poo shooter".

I agree counting our A and K outs as clean would be a mistake which is why I think dumping this hand on the turn would be best.

I capped pre flop because of my read and followed through on the flop for the very same reason.

It's everything after that I think I screwed up. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

how many hands was your read over?

what range did you think he was 3betting with?

Villian seems to like his hand. I'm probably folding this on the turn UI, but if you can count all of your A and K outs as clean, I don't think calling here is terrible.

Do you have a 3-betting range for villian?

ok... i:

1) dont cap preflop
2) dont lead the flop
3) given action dont call the turn
4) given action dont fold the river

(note: im not calling the turn because im not folding the river ui, and its costing me 2BB to see a showdown where i have likely <3 outs)

Against an overly aggressive villain preflop the cap is fine. Don't lead the flop UI. I usually check/call the flop and fold UI on the turn.
