Cap the flop
Lead the turn and if he raises you call it and check/call the river.

What were you thinking? If you can't give reads at least give us your thought process.

I'm not sure of my thought process. I wanted to cap the flop, and I know I should have, but for some reason I had one of my opponents on a set, and the call/call/call by MP1 preflop, and then him raising the flop made me think that he most likely had JT. Therefore, I felt like I was drawing almost dead. Monsters under the bed, I know. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

FLOP: I like the cap because you want to put table on notice you got good hand. Board is scary. If they play back at you hard on big street, you might want to slow down.

TURN: Bet out (after capping flop.) If raised, call down from there looks prudent.
