Theoretical Pre-flop Capping Question

[ QUOTE ]

There are two other players in the hand. I don't care if MP will have a slightly better hand than me on the average, provided that the blinds are capable of cold calling with some pretty weak hands.

...

Your equity against three opponents is 34%, and a preflop cap would make you around .36 SB (=34% x 4 SB - 1 SB).

I'm pretty sure this is what I was trying to say, but didn't know how.

Thanks Nate.

thanks for running the math Nate...

how much does being out of position against 3 opponents change things? Also how tricky/well your opponents play postflop will make the hand harder to play...

Certainly you'd always rather be playing in position and against bad opponents, but there's enough value in the cap that I don't think it matters very much.
