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.

AA vs KQ, what the hell was I thinking, calling an all in preflop with AA. I'm just not getting it.

This does turn around, right?

ohhhhh this rules Sklanskys new book has a chapter on this (not cap games) but games where you are playing Deep Stack NL and Short Stack NL

Cap games would essentially make you play Short Stack NL

The whole chapter in his book which you could equate to a CAp game is very interesting very indeed.
