Cap (20bb) is played different from 100bb+. Some key differences in gameplay:
- openraise is 2bb instead of 2.5-3bb
- because of smaller opensize BB is defended much wider
- 3betting frequencies & ranges are different because of stacksize
- because of spr, cbet sizes are smaller, because of that cbetting ranges are wider, frequencies higher
Some villains play both cap and regular.
Stats mix up, become diluted. Greatly.
If playing cap and regular simultaniously several issues arise with the HUD.
- different stats are relevant
for example, 3bet pots happen very rarely compared to 100bb.
Meanwhile cbetting/checkraising/Flop 3betting tendencies are more important, but for 100bb are better confined to a popup
Also the addition of allin- & non-allin 3bets
- need different color ranges
as mentioned, standard/normal cbetting frequencies are different
optimal fold to 3bet preflop is very different
Moving cap stakes into an own game type is an easy & fast fix.
And it makes a lot of sense.
