An example of loose aggression shorthanded
There have been a few threads on here recently about how to play strong hands when there are possible monsters lurking. This hand just happened a few minutes ago, and I thought it was a good example of how a cap doesn't always mean anything near the nuts.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 2, K.
UTG raises, 2 folds, Hero calls.
Flop: (4.50 SB) 2, A, 8 (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG calls.
Turn: (3.25 BB) 7 (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG calls.
River: (5.25 BB) T (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG raises, Hero 3-bets, UTG caps, Hero calls.
Final Pot: 13.25 BB
Results in white below:
Hero has 2s Ks (flush, ace high).
UTG has Tc Td (three of a kind, tens).
Outcome: Hero wins 13.25 BB.
The point here is that UTG capped the river with a set when there is both a flush and straight possible. I would have played a straight or baby flush the same way.
