Would button open limp with 99 or 66??????

With sb in between Id cap flop. I think id have to 3-bet turn. People are normally scared of AK in spots like this though????

I like question marks?????

it's toughy. You'd have to rely on ur read on villain, whether he's aggro or not etc.

btw, why didn't u cr the turn? I def. would've because by betting out, villain most likely raises and knocks out the other guy. Don't you like money? Keept he other guy along and check-raise both of them!

Yeah, I c/r/c the turn. C/c river if he 3-bet the turn.

This is 0.02/0.04, we can either cap the flop or c/r/cap the turn.

Your actions on the Flop and Turn contradict each other.

The standard play is to cap the flop for value.
Both opponents will only have 1 bet to call, so they will surely tag along.
And you win 2 easy value bets.

The only reason not to cap the flop is if you intend on check-raising the turn and trapping both opponents for 2 bigger bets.

Be confident that your TPTK is ahead on the flop.
Not capping the flop and not check-raising the turn is illogical and is a bad play.
You cost yourself easy money.
