Default Re: Flush. call/cap flop?

Which pair are you talking about on the flop? It looks to me like you didn't pair until the river..

I agree that the free card potential is there, but you mention that you rarely expect button to fold, making a free card difficult when we check the turn behind SB.

I don't think 2BB is really negligible for LP player to call on the turn. 2BB is 2BB, and most players don't like their TPGK anymore.

I'm saying that we're only getting like 40% of the bets going in on the flop, and only when button calls, when we value-cap here.

What do you mean it reveals our hand when we go into check call mode? Do you mean it reveals it in this current hand? If so, I don't see why that is a huge problem. Villian is going to showdown.

I was saying that after we call-cap the flop and check the turn, we're going to expose our hand as a strong draw.

My thinking was that between the times that we don't improve and the times that button folds, we're pushing a fairly thin equity edge to begin with, at the cost of another value-raise should we hit our outs later on in the hand. Perhaps I'm underestimating Hero's equity and the resulting value in a flop raise, however.

I don't think that the typical 2/4 player is going to realize this.

I'm sorry...there was two hands similar to this one in my session last night, and one of them I had a pair and an OESD and the other one was above. So I only have 11 outs to the likely best hand.

But what do you think about this: If I cap and LP folds, then I have 40 - 45% equity, but have gained absolute position and have a solid shot at a free card. However, if LP does not fold then my bet is for value. Either way, I like capping the flop.

I don't necessarily think that call/capping gives away my hand. a) 2/4 players are not usually congnizant of the action b) 2/4 and other players will often cap, correctly, in this spot for deception because they assume that the other player will do it anyway c) 2/4 players often call cap with a monster in this spot

Yeah, I'm convinced. I wasn't doing the equity calculations for our hand and our equity is higher than I originally ballparked. I was thinking we'd gain like 0.1SB when we button calls the cap and lose 0.8SB when he folds, but this isn't the case.
