MP1 is on tilt because I won most of his stack earlier, and could have anything. No reads on MP3.

How was the PF raise?

I don't know how things are at that level. It's not a great preflop raise anyway, IMO. The only hands you are beating are 1010-KK and A with a lower than 9 kicker. I can see one going all in, but with the call as well it's probably better to just fold, because they most likely know you have an A.

I don't mind the preflop raise as a whole, but in the very loose live 5/5 NL game that I play at Harrah's, it takes 10BB's to isolate when so many have entered the pot. So I would think that if you're gonna make this isolation attempt, you should be betting $0.25.

I click on sit out and play on these tables and the $0.05/0.10 tables when I'm on tilt to blow some steam and it always takes at least $0.25 to isolate on these in a family pot. I play the .5/1 NL tables on PS and the penny/dime NL players call me the $100 TillerMan because of this tilt tactic. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Now, your fold is fundamental, not weak. You don't wanna be calling all in here.

haha! i do that too! i love to play the mainiac that jams every pot at .25/.50 limit in order to blow off some steam. it's a great way to cure tilt, esp when you pull some silly monster suckout and pass the tilt off on some other poor bastard! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

and i aggree that it's a mandatory fold, esp with one caller already.
