Capping the turn with a straight is crazy with a paired board with ALL high cards. I guess I'm giving players too much credit..

His opponent 3-bet the turn. Hero capped.

And if you don't 3-bet or cap this turn with the nut straight, you are giving up a lot of bets. If the bettor raises you again when a bad card falls on the river, then you can call.

If I were another player in the hand, I would have put Blindfolk on a decent but vulnerable hand.

If you were the OTHER player... I get it, duh, sorry... idk how I missed that,

Why? Because his flop raise makes it less likely for people to call. His hand is for all intents and purposes invulnerable. His raise drives people out, and someone with an invulnerable hand generally does not want to drive people out.

You're right, I have much to learn... I woulda thought that 3 double bets = 6 single ones (provided they all called one), then I realized that ONE of those bets is your own, so it's really 2 and 5... Give a free card, maybe it helps someone (as it did Mr. Straight), and you can get a whole lotta action on the later streets.. Clever....

Plus, if you don't raise the flop, most low limit players will assume that the turn card is why you're raising, not whatever came before.

I think the one people will miss more often is when they hold the AK on a KKT board and are up against pocket 10s (or KT for that matter).
