What is your take on CAP tables?

[ItWasSooted]

Was just wondering if anyone here is playing the CAP tables on Luvin or not, most sites don't offer them yet and they have both advantages and disadvantages. If you prefer a more tight BRM, they help because you can only risk x $ / € per hand, even if you play No Limit. For obvious reasons that also limits the potential profit for each hand as well, especially with so many crazy Italians around these days at the Euro tables.

Honestly I don't like cap games. I think they are for indecisive people who want to play no limit....but don't want to REALLY play no limit. If you want to play NL and but are nervous of the swings, go down a level, if you don't like the big size bets, play FL or PL.

Despite what people say and roll their eyes limit games can be profitable if you are playing at a level where the rake won't kill you.

Same thing about the bankroll management if you are nervous about risking X% of your roll in that one game, you're playing too high. I don't see any real advantage to playing cap....if you are a good NL player, you are losing value and won't get to use your skills on later streets. If you are a good fixed limit player, you probably won't adjust well to some of the things that take place in a no limit venue.
