Cap the turn?

It should be noted that MP1 was on tilt. Also, the very last hand we played I had isolation raised him and he called down with K high (to my pair of aces).

I would raise this flop as a default play but I figured I wanted to play with his head a little bit and exploit the tilt. A turn raise IMO just makes them explode in my experience. I wanted to sucker him in for some big bets, as I wasn't sure if he'd continue if I raised the flop. In hindsight I probably should still have raised the flop though.

Do you guys cap the turn? I have 9 outs to the nut flush and 4 outs to a full house, with a strong chance of still being ahead.

I'd call the 3 bet, and check call down (unless I improve, then I check raise)

Well, he can't have A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], and if he has AA or QQ, more power to him. I cap. If he's still leading into me on the river, I probably puss out and call.

I think the best way to exploit the tilt is to raise the flop. I don't mind the turn cap given the read and pf action.

I think I cap even if he isn't tilting. he's got AK here or xKc too often not to.

Funny thing is he check/folded the river when I bet. I had a mentor at the time watching and he was like "wowowowow".
