Getting 14:1 on your money I think it’s fine. I would bet flop.

I agree with betting flop as played. I usually just call preflop (I think this sort of hand plays better without the initiative) but I could be convinced that’s wrong.

Can you expand on this a little? What is you cap range here? Are you also calling with AQs? TT? JTs, T9s? I am likely folding 22-55 and AJo for sure. Maybe mistakes on the pairs.

I figure this a a solid mw hand, I am oop and if I am going to call 2 cold I might as well cap and possibly get some folders or dragalongs with sub par hands for some extra bets.

In theory, there is a way to construct a well-balanced capping range preflop, but in practice I find it easier not to have one.

If it was three ways, yeah, but doesn’t it become better to have a 4bet range in a four way pot? If this was CO raise, sb 3bet, I don’t have a capping range.

Cap pre is good. I also agree with leading the flop.

So if the action were like MP raises CO 3bets SB calls, I could get behind having a capping range But if the SB 3bets, I think there is a real advantage to not having a capping range out of the BB - it gives you a lot more optionality on the flop (which is really, really important when you have a hand like AJdd where your equity is going to shift dramatically depending on the flop). I agree with the general principle that you should be more likely to cap out of the BB the more players there are.

Yeah I cap most of my continuing range here. Especially at lower stakes the limper might fold but I can see arguments on both sides.

My first thought was bet the flop, you get called by all sorts of slop, but I wonder what our equity actually is five ways with a king and all sorts of draws out there. I wouldn’t hate it if the flop checked through
