Pop a cap in their asses?

[Azhrarn]

Thanks for all of the responses.

This hand surprised me a bit, because I'm usually pretty comfortable with pre-flop decisions, and I had no idea if a cap here was worthwhile. For what it's worth, I put CO on a JJ-AA, AK range, and I chickened out and called. Having read the responses, I probably should have gone ahead and capped. But what I lack in pre-flop agggression, I make up in flopping g00t:

I definately think you should cap here. I tried to pick a "sensible" range of hands that people would cold call with when 6 people are seeing the flop (meaning they can't all have good hands.)

The fact that there's 6 people in the pot makes this an easy cap.

I have read this entire thread and believe capping is more profitable than calling.

[Nick Royale]

I like your simulation and think capping good.

I think this is a bit flawed though. You have put no one of them on reasonable coldcalling hands.
