I try to play at tables where isolation plays never work so I can't help you with this one. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

ermm.. k, you decided to isolate an early position limper with a very marginal hand. you bet the whole way without a single pair. it may have worked this time but chances are you'll run into many who will call you down with bottom pair and then what will you do? this is a play with a negative EV when you consider the average 1-2 PP player.

1. the pot is small
2. though heads up, your hand is still considered marginal against an EP limper

you're risking several bets just to win the initial blinds and his call. high risk, low return. not worth it.

fold preflop, check the river, sometimes the turn depending on the player.
You need around A8s to raise here.
