Calling certainly looks scarier to me if I am the opposition.

Agreed - Its a given that bicyclekick is perceived as a solid player.

But if you take into account that James282 has been running bad, and if trip5s knows this, then his 3-betting hand range expands widely, and getting the extra bet in preflop may be your only chance to do so.

I'm honestly not sure if capping or calling is better, but folding sucks.

I think capping is better because it defines my hand so much better and usually gets me out. I'm raising with an awful lot with these tightwads behind me.

I play, the only decision is between capping and just calling. I usually cap.

Why does a good player care when another good player is running badly?

Let's assume that James is not folding even if you cap. Now would you cap or call?

That's a good question. My innitial reaction is cap still. I'll think about it more and get back to you. My 2 minutes of thought wasn't good enough haha.
