i think you played it just about perfect

cap is terrible--like, TERRIBLE--predraw. raise with a bad 7 draw after you get donkbet into (he's saying he's improved) is also bad. other streets are standard.

So I should raise-call predraw? Call after the 1st draw? And raise after the 2nd draw? Using this line, we'd both be deeper after the 2nd draw, should I raise-call again or cap if (when) he reraises this time?What kind of hands do you need to cap predraw heads up, 4 cards to a smooth 8 or better?

i would raise/call predraw, yes. and call after 1st draw, and raise/call the 2nd, breaking an 810 or worse with a redraw and raise/folding a 10J.as for the raise/calling things, it really depends on the opponent. there are a lot of guys that i try to snow or make them break almost every time. there are others that i never do either against, so it's really tough to say one way or the other. i tend to play very aggressively, so i'd lean toward raise/capping the 2nd draw in position with a jack and 7 redraw if he still pats. were you OOP, i'd probably just c/c and toss the jack.HU i cap any 3 card draw with a deuce, sometimes stuff like 3x8 if x ain't a seven. of course, i mix this up a lot, so that's just a standard guideline. this is also read dependent, too, since you'd be the one that would know if you should be capping 358 or something if its ahead of a villain's range. sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.

Sorry if these are ridiculously standard/obv.

that second one's totally standard, yes .basically if you are pretty sure that your opponent is going to be drawing on the end, pat a jack or better. sometimes they'll trick you and you won't get a chance to draw to beat them if they play passively in position and then pat the end behind, but that's generally a big mistake on their part and they're missing value if you recognize the strength of that sort of line and don't pay them off.

anyone stand pat with the jack low?

[uncooper 1]

We are supposed to assume that he made precisely a J8, AND that he stood pat with it OOP? After he improved and bet every previous street?

after he pats in front that would be absolutely horrid. we only win if he has a J9 (which wouldn't really make sense as played) or is snowing.

[bassplayer45459 0]

Sorry, i misread it, i thought he drew one on the last street and you had a J low made
