I have heard at least two pros saying it is important for them to have a CAP on the games. I would think it is similar to the reason they "run it twice" often ehen it is a marginal situation. They are looking to build slowly and wait for big spots without taking huge swings, right?

I would think that applies almost exclusively to larger sums of money that a 1/2 stack. Also at higher limits you are going to find fewer players that will pay you off big on the turn and the river with a bad hand or a bad draw. At low limits you lose a lot of expectation by capping the max bet, but at higher limits where the play is evened out (somewhat) I would think it makes more sense in a "safe" kind of way.
