Alright, PF is ok I think, the flop play gets a little crazy and by the turn I am wondering what I am beating. What can villian have by the turn, 66, TT+, AK/AQ right? Question is, how often does anyone ever check the turn after capping a flop. I don't think I've ever down it before.

I'd lead the turn after capping the flop. If raised I call down. Looks like he probably has AQ here (after his river check), unless he's the type to go super aggro with something like TT/JJ against just one overcard.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

I just call down after the flop 3bet. The cap is a bit spewy. The river is a really shit card for you, and him not betting it makes me go hmmmm. Id have to figure AQ too.

I would 3bet preflop every day, as it will really tell you villain's range here. After that, the hand plays differently but I don't like the flop cap either, this board isn't very good to be 3betting for a free card with and will call him down.

And, even worse, whats with the stop and go?

By the end, I would be surprised to see anything but AQ here. AQ is a solid 3-betting hand short-handed preflop. No reason at all to cap the flop. Guess this post was pretty pointless as all I did was regurgitate euph and jeff's posts. But I get so little to respond to these days in the limit forums. Perhaps euph or jeff will find value in the affirmation of the validity of their responses (as if they needed that from me) ...

Yea, Im having a lot of trouble w/ this situation pf. It mainly comes from holding A9-AQo, KJ/KQ/, and QJ in the SB/BB. I'm really not sure what to do with these hands once UTG/MP raises. If CO/button opens I am definitely 3betting here, but when UTG raises I am a bit lost.

On the flop I think I just got ahead of myself and capped not realizing I was OOP. I then just wanted to c/c the rest of the way. So the only true spew was the 4th bet. I think I could lead the turn and call down if raised.

And to once again illustrate the stellar play of my opponents, villian mucks 99.
