Just a hand to once again show how important aggression is in limit hold em, and even more so shorthanded. When people have big draws they will often automatically think they want to keep as many people in as possible, for when they hit. And to some extent, that's true. You want to keep people in when the expected value of the future bets you will collect from them outweighs the equity you gain by trying to clean up weak outs or win the pot right now. In short, the bigger the pot the less worried you should be about extracting maximum value, and the more you should be worried about winning the pot ASAP. In this case we have a 3 way capped pot pre flop, so the pot is already big and swelled. Enjoy.
