I probably put in the preflop cap, because I'm crazy like that. No river bet? I doubt you're getting check-raised here.
TylerK: its just gambling if i want to worry about money i'll go to work lol

Unless I knew that these guys were passive I would cap preflop for value. Post-flop I'd play it the same.

Would you still raise the turn if the 9 was a heart?

Pre-flop really depends on reads. Calling isn't a bad line here as it looks like everyone has a hand and it might be nice not to lead the flop. I cap this almost always just because I don't like to get too cute.

Post-flop is pefect.

Out of curiosity, when MP2 woke up and changed from being a caller on the flop to leading out on the turn when the 3rd spade came down didn't part of you put him on a spade flush (draw)?

No, the fact that he couldn't have had the A or K of spades and also 3-bet preflop means that a flush draw is a very unlikely hand for him. I was however worried about a set of kings, which is a hand he might try to slowplay on the flop and then bet out with when the 3rd spade came to scare him.

I like your play here on all streets. I'm much more likely to cap AKs preflop and AKo, as you are usually sharing outs with a 4 way capped preflop.

The turn bet from MP2 looks like a donk bet, raise him.
