KJs on a capped pre-flop

[deception5]

My initial thought was to fold here when it is capped preflop, but pokerstove shows you have around 20% equity here even against a solid bb capper (AK, AA-QQ). So I think you played the entire hand perfectly.

On the river I check behind because you lose 2 bets to someone that was slowplaying an overpair or calling down with an ace. Since that's about all I can put the big blind on having capped preflop I would be much more afraid of getting check/raised than of missing a value bet against an unlikely 99-TT (if bb loosened his raising standards on this one).

I think if the river had been a 6 of diamonds I would bet as you might still get called by AK or an unlikely middle pocket pair.

Thanks for the replies. I did check that river -- A and K were both too scary to bet out (well, A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] would have been nice), since as several folks said, any hand that beats me would at least call, if not raise, and any hand that doesn't probably folds.

what do you think he capped preflop with that wouldn't include an Ace? or a hand that beats you anyways that he was passive with and let you do the betting for him?

If he's a donk, I put him on "I'm tired of being pushed around from this position by this player" enough times to make this bet good. I think his flop check is really fishy.

SB and BB are both somewhat tight and aggressive pre-flop, pretty neutral post-flop

based off of that, I'm partial to folding PF here, BB could have you dominated, I think its a marginal/negative EV call here getting 6:1

On the river, I like checking behind him since BB capping PF. I put him on hand groups 1-2, maybe 3 if BB is particularly "saucey". Based off his postflop play though, unless he has a horrible case of FPS, we can knock him off all PP's Jacks and up, and AJs. That still leaves 3/5 hands on the river that beat you (AQs, AKs/AK beating you, you beating TT/KQs). Take the free showdown.

Not that bad, actually. I'm quite torn between folding preflop and calling. It's an easy call if everyone else comes along but I'd fold here a reasonable portion of the time, depending on how solid I felt my reads were.
