    Default Cap this flop?

    After reading SSH and thining about the hand quizzes I was wondering if you guys think I should've capped this flop? I was unsure because the board was fairly coordinated and someone could've made the straight on the flop. What do you guys think?

    No, this is a monster flop here.... The only thing we are fearing is TJs (why suited? becuase most woowlrth players will fold TJo to a 3 bet), And even if somebody has a straight, we still got draws to the flush. Cap this like 6 times over if you could. Also you were last to act on the flop the way the bets came down. Your cap on the flpo ,ay have gotten you a free card on the turn if you needed it, but I woulf be betting the turn regardless of what fell. Also a cap on the flop disguises the flush draw, since most people will think you were trying to protect against the flush, not bet on its equity.

    mabye yea. those two desperately wanted to see the turn. they wouldve called it.....but if you did, i doubt you wouldve had anymore action after the turn card.

    my analysis - since they both folded on the river....i'd say one was on two pair. the other was probably hoping for trips, and figured a straight beat them.

    Without a doubt, cap it. The only reason not to is if you would be giving a number of people multiple bets to call and you wanted to keep them in the pot.

    Out of curiosity, do you guys cap A2 of clubs here? What about AcQc with the King being a club on the board.

    No, you don't have the pot equity to be raising with JUST a flush draw there, but with TPTK and a flush draw I think you need to cap it.

    So TPTK is good here enough of the time? What about AQ or A9 with the 4 flush?

    Well the only good club left is the one that kills you, so obviously they didn't have it. Probably just trying to bluff at the river hoping you didn't have the A,K or T of clubs.

    They could have had a set or straight, I'd think a straight would check call here, a set would be folded though.

    All in all nice play here, just needed to cap the flop

    ^^I'm probably not capping it with A9c, but would consider it with AQc and definitely with AKc

    Yes, TPTK if probabably good often enough to make that a +ev play at these levels. I would probably just three bet with the AQ and call with the A9, but I may be weak in that area.
