A Bunch Of Hands Where I Raised and Folded to a Cap Preflop

I included results to show how bad shape I was in each time. all these hands happened in my last 6k. I dumped the postflop play because it was too distracting

First 3 are really easy, I might pause for a second on the last 2 but I like folds.

I think they're all pretty easy

Ok, I thought this was happening to you a lot after you had raised in EP. I think these are all standard folds and I think these hands will give the lower stakes players an idea of just what kind of situations they can find themselves in in the 15 game. The 15 game is not as easy as it's made out to be on these forums.

Also, now a days I would not play Hand 3. A5o is not enough for me to steal with very often now adays.

Hand 4 is a hand that I have played similarly many times in the past and it was my default play. Lately I have been leaning towards folding in this spot though. If the table has been passive (it happens) I do limp with it sometimes. I do not believe that I have had much success raising with Axs from mid-position.

There was one at the Borg where you opened one off the hijack, edtost 3-bet on the button and I capped from the BB. Don't remember what you had but my AQ high beat his A-high.

a lot of my looser raises are read dependent. I'm sure there were some tight players behind me in my A4s hand, because that's not a standard raise for me by any means.

I guess I'm a little suprised by this, ever since I started playing a little 5/10 6max I've been stealing a little more with these types of aces in the CO, and more suited varieties in MP2,MP3. I always figured than when its down to the last 4-5 players that my ace probably was more often than no the best hand going in.

Is this comment specific to the 15/30 or would you not steal with these types of hands at 3/6 full or 5/10 full?

So are steals so common at this level that hands like A-10 and K-Q are 3-betting and/or capping? Just seems rather astonishing to me.
