I have a few questions about capped ranges. From what I understand, a capped range is a range of medium strength hands on a particular board.
So to give an example, an ultra nit open-raises from UTG, gets a call from SB. Flop comes 258r. His range is capped to one pair ([AA-TT...AJ+...KQs]) because with his UTG open-range its hard for him to have anything better.
1. Given that high pairs make up only about 30% of his UTG range, is this a good +EV spot for a c/r or donk-bet bluff?
2. Can a capped range on the flop, turn into an uncapped range on the turn (river)? Suppose a 9 comes on the turn and our nit-friend starts to go crazy. Is it possible he has like...67s for a straight? What about bluff-catching in this spot?
3. How to recognize that opponent has a capped range? A nit opening UTG, fish donking with TP, TAG 3betting only QQ+, passive player calling down on every street are all easy examples but what about more LAGish players?
4. How to prevent opponents from recognizing you'are capped? Balancing ranges?
