I don't recall, I just assumed I had the best hand. But after I got over losing the pot, I thought he played it pretty well. [/ QUOTE ] Hell no. If he raised the turn, you probably would have capped it, and maybe even capped the river.

Re: Small pocket pair

I don't recall, I just assumed I had the best hand. [/ QUOTE ] Quite understandable. I don't auto-cap rivers like this, nor do I think the advice to do so is particularly sound. Perfectly good advice to tell weakish, passive players who need to learn not to fear monsters - not good for someone who really wants to improve their game. You have to think about what the opponent is likely to have, especially given the action he is giving vs the opponents, and tie that in with your read on him and the board texture. Not a lot of work unless you play 8 tables - lol. There is a certain amount of "auto-pilot" play going on, both in the hand posts and in the responses, that isn't helpful. For what it's worth...

Re: Small pocket pair
Not capping this river is terribly -EV. I saw the results, but quads are SO rare. And 88 or JJ are so unlikely too. You can beat any under full houses and you'll beat any flush or straight.

[/ QUOTE ] Missed the point of my post, though the content of yours is fine. The issue was to do with playing on "auto-pilot", not noting reads or putting opponents on hands. It wasn't said I wouldn't cap the river. Rather, it wouldn't happen just automatically, without thought. Understand, the objection is to encouragement of the "just think about your own hand" mentality. It happens to be an excellent hand.

Re: Small pocket pair
[ QUOTE ]
I would cap this river without even thinking about it. Some plays are just clearly +EV, and this is one of them. I'm capping this even against a rock. [/ QUOTE ] What hand do you put a rock on? - lol You need to show why it's +EV... otherwise it's just fantasy.
