Also, to clarify a bit (or you can link the original post), what type of situations/boards was Nate's plan for? Obviously when we have air in a HU situation...Seems like we want Ax since our hand is good a lot of the time...what else?

It's specifically for times we have a big A OOP in a heads-up pot. Basically the idea is we have outs to improve but will also have the best hand a lot of the time. So we see the river and hope to showdown a winner unimproved a good portion of the time, but don't put in any money on the river.

Cool. And if we're up against say a 50/30/3 type of nutcase...or someone real aggressive, is c/c'ing the river ok? Do we abandon that line for something else?

Also, how do we feel about capping the tightish SB 3-bettor in hand 1? We do have position and it is 3 way, but OTOH his range has to be pretty limited.

I am with you on the cap. What's he 3 betting from there? JJ, QQ, KK, QQ AK, AKs? Seems a little aggro.

Yeah we're a 2-1 dog against that range (which I think is pretty accurate). Unless it has some pretty sweet postflop benefits (and more likely it just bloats the pot and will help keep overcards around til the river), I'd just call.

Hand #1) I wouldn't have capped pre-flop, a call in that situation would have been sufficient. I don't think you needed to fold to just a bet either. Depending on my read, I might have raised him to see where I was at, but at a minimum I'm calling.
Hand #2) I know it's kind of tight, but I would have most-likely folded after MP1 raised post-flop. My limited experience has taught me that I lose much more cash chasing with big slick after I miss the flop than I make when I get lucky and suck out.
Hand #3). I would have had to pay the guy off inthis situation. It's probably a loser, but that's what I would do. Good luck.

there wasn't really any hard and true reasoning to capping hand 1, but in my experience, if the person that "didn't" cap it preflop bets the flop, he has a very premium hand.
as for hand 2, i should have folded the turn, but folded the river after the straight draw was completed.
and hand 3, i checked the turn cuz i liked it, if i was ahead, i still was, if not, i wasn't, and i felt that i was. so i donked the river because it seemed pretty obvious i had an ace and didn't want a lower pair checking thru.
