KTo flops two pair

The SB in this hand is pretty solid (VP$IP = 19%, PFR = 8%). I've gotten to the point where I have no problem turning on the aggression against the run of the mill Party player, but for some reason I still want to revert to the "Look for a reason to roll over and die!" thinking recommended in WLLHE when I am met with resistance from someone that I know is a good player.

Does everything here look kosher?

against most players I like capping the flop, because they'll usually bet the turn again anyway. I like this line here much more though.

I would go ahead and cap the flop, because everyone's putting another SB in here. Button already coldcalled two on the flop, and he's the only one who would have to coldcall if you cap.

Aaaand, I just noticed this, you may want to consider raising or folding this preflop based on your read of MP1 and the blinds. If he's loose and they're tight, raise. If he's tight and they're loose, fold. I wouldn't make this call preflop.

On second thought, I'm wrong.

Listen to this man.
