Is this pre-flop cap too agressive?

UB .25/.5

I'm UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

It's the craziest UB .25/.5 table I've been at for ages, table average VP$IP is over 40, and MP3 has VP$IP of 45% (and PFR of 9%) and has been chatting it up big time about continually missing flops.

1 fold, I raise, 2 folds, MP3 3-bets, folded to me and I cap.

My thinking was his looseness implied I'm not neccessarily behind, and that it gave me the chance to take control if the flop is rags, potentially pushing him off a better hand.

Flop comes 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and I lead out.

Just wondering if I'm getting ahead of myself for these limits.

Thanks.

capping preflop with AQo is pretty loose if you ask me

[Peter Harris]

but against someone loose and possibly on tilt, i think AQo beats a lot of hands and is not dominated by many other combinations (AA - 3 KK - 6 QQ - 3 AK - 12).

I guess this move is acceptable. But it's highly player dependent, that's for sure.

The cap is incorrect.

What range of hands do you put a player with a PFR of 9 on? (He may be playing too many cards, but he's not necessarily a loose raiser).

PFR of 9% is high but not maniac high. I would be capping..

My PFR is 8.95 and there is a zero percent chance that AQo would ever be ahead of me if I 3bet in this situation.

Apologies my post was meant to say I would NOT be capping..kinda makes more sense in the context of what I wrote about him NOT being a complete maniac..

Guys,

Thanks for the feedback. At the time I thought it may have been the wrong thing to do, but I did chuckle when he folded to my flop bet and showed A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I told him what I had and he started going on about inexperienced players who don't know anyhting.

Needless to say, I didn't partake in any further chat.

My PF% for the last 4,000 has been 8.40, and I've been casually wondering why it decreased.

9.00 is not high.

Yes, those UB .25/.50 tables are getting very nice lately. I would still be playing them, but I wanted to move up, so I switched to Party. I will definitely be visiting the UB .25/.50 tables again, though.

P.S. That cap was pretty gutsy. On the other hand, it is sometimes easy to push people off hands at thesis tables. (Maybe not this lunatic, though.)
