Short Answer

The cap symptom is when villain knows your hand class is missing. This often happens if you remove too many high-value combinations from key nodes.

Signals

Watch for near-constant sizing, opponent aggression that is repeatedly effective, and the absence of one side of your intended range.

Fix

Reintroduce one to two hand classes at a time: add blocker hands or stronger value pieces, then rebalance bluff frequency.

Execution

  1. Sample 10-20 similar nodes and chart value/bluff composition.
  2. Measure exploit frequency against opponent aggression.
  3. Change one range dimension at a time.
  4. Review after one week to confirm response is controlled.
