Re: Not capping w/ JJ...dunno why but...
I smoothcall 3 bets with big pairs preflop HU at least as often as I cap them. Not only do I think it allows me to extract more value from the hand, but it has great meta-game advantages as well.

Re: Not capping w/ JJ...dunno why but...
I almost always call in that spot with JJ unless I think my opponent is very weak and not only do I have him dominated, but my cap won't lose later pot equity. When I call, I'm hoping to spike a jack... or see a lowball flop hoping my opponent 3-bet AK.
With JJ you can't be a large favorite to almost anything he'd 3-bet you with... Note to all cappers: 20/14/1.79 probably is pretty solid... Believe me if you raise UTG and I 3-bet you, I've got JJ beat & most people with those or better stats probably do too. |

Why the difference between this section (where Sklansky prescribes a more passive line), and the aggressive approach advocated in this thread? [/ QUOTE ] DS wrote that for games before the internet. meaning way way more passive overall play. [ QUOTE ] Also, why is this situation a definite flop/turn raise, and not a way ahead/behind call down situation? [/ QUOTE ] why on earth would i want AK to get a free card. lower 3betting pairs may call me down anyways since the board was 2tone. also, since i DO raise AJs here i would like to see if he folds, which i want him to, and which he did. -Barron |

He has a PFR of 14. He's 3-betting with a lot of hands that are crushed by JJ.

[/ QUOTE ] is it really that high....lemme go check the ol PT database...unless you datamined the 1/2 game, in which case you're clearly right... double check: 12.81!!! so HA 10.21% from UTG though so if you are only 3betting me w/ JJ or better, haha on you. -Barron |

Re: Not capping w/ JJ...dunno why but...
I routinely do this in higher limit shorthanded games where people go bonkers w/ A-high and top pair. I especially like it on the button when a blind 3 bets you thinking you are stealing w/ garbage.
