Dude had pretty random game - reraise K9s from UTG, checked set on the flop and was all about douchebaggery and trickery.

Was the flop cap ok?

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.05/$0.1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (7 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q:c, Q:h.
MP1 calls, 2 folds, Hero raises, 3 folds, MP1 3-Bets, Hero caps, MP1 calls.

Flop: (9.4 SB) 8:c, 8:h, J:s (2 players)
MP1 bets, Hero raises, MP1 3-Bets, Hero caps, MP1 calls.

Turn: (8.7 BB) 3:d (2 players)
MP1 bets, Hero raises, MP1 3-Bets, Hero calls.

River: (14.7 BB) 4:h (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets, MP1 calls.

Final Pot: 16.7 BB.
Results follow:

Hero shows two pairs, queens and eights(Q:c Q:h).
MP1 shows two pairs, aces and eights(A:c A:h).

MP1 wins with two pairs, aces and eights(A:c A:h).

You've gone a little too far with your flopcap. Consider his range. He did limp reraise which is quite often an overpair. Without reads hard to say. It could even be T9s but spoken from my experience it's too often a strong hand and after his 3bet, you just beat AJs and you split against QQ but against JJ KK AA you're pretty much dead. So after Mp's 3bet just call down. :)

Flopcap is not ok but turnraise is overplayed a lot.

Tbh, it's the first time I saw limp reraise being anything good. And I've played like 10k hands so far. Thus far I've only seen some crap being played that way - usually people are making a stance, especially if I have raised them quite often. Therefore I decided to play it agressively.

Figured he would have Jx hand or worst case scenario hit 8x something.

Anyway, I learned something.

Experience seems to be different and i made the experience that whenever i've been facing a limpreraise, my opponent had a strong hand most of the times. I mean it's possible that he just blindly played QJ KJ AJ that way but consider: If he is even loose enough to limpreraise with JT QJ and overplay it like that, he could also have 89 T8 A8 and those trips kind of hands. When you add these hands to the Jx hands, you don't have enough eQuity and it's still a calldown. :)

sounds good. It's no as if I've seen this play more than 5 times really.

Good point about trips.
