Your preflop play is fine. Recognize though that you stand a very good chance of being either tied or beaten by the turn given the preflop action. If the utg player has reasonable raising standards, his utg raise followed by a cap indicate a very strong hand. Hands I'd play this way in this situation would be AK, AA-TT. Of those, you beat only QQ and TT when the turn comes. Once he c/r the turn, you are almost certainly winning 1/2 the pot at best. FWIW, I play this the same way you did.

I know this wouldn't be "standard" (and would require a good read, too), but if the player is fairly tight, how would anyone feel about checking behind the turn? Say he's the type to only cap AA-JJ, AK (not at all uncommon), so we beat QQ only, which is totally folding to our turn bet, jacking us with any of the pp's, and it doesn't especially matter with AK cuz we're splitting anyway. Check behind, call a river bet? Again, with a good read...

Oops, ok, so with the gutshot, QQ is not folding to our turn bet. Hmmm...crap. Well absent the gutshot I think it's an idea worth considering.

I think this is a fairly standard range to cap preflop, since it's rare for a player to cap with worse would a WA/WB line be more profitable here?

AA and KK - Lose.
QQ, JJ and TT - Most players will fold the turn unimproved.
AK - Tie.

What do you think?
