Default Attempt to isolate with ...junk (3/6)

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) converter

MP is very loose-passive preflop 72/5 and BB is very tight (12/11) - bless him

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls, MP calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, MP folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls.

So we lost the LPP. I can't think BB calls a preflop raise with a 6x hand a lot of times - most times an attempt to steal

Turn: (5 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>

This is a scary card but I reckon I can steal here 1 out of 6 times. Obviously I'm giving up if raised-called

Fold preflop. You don't have to win every hand.

When BB calls pf that is the last $ i put in w/out a real hand. Our isolation didn't happen and you're just wasting money. Also, judging by your rude response you seem to be in a pretty bad mood- dwindling BR due to plays like these the cause?

This is your first poker related reply to my posts so please keep it on. As for being in a bad mood b/c of losing:

Get your ego in check dude, the play WAS stupid. In the long run you are spewing money. You got lucky, do you really think you will always be this lucky when you play the hand as you did?

In short don't take criticisim personally here, use it as a learning experiance to improve your ganme.

Let me explain myself. Irishp for some reason has made a number of such rude responses in posts that I've made in the micros. I accept criticism very well but I do not accept personal attack. As for my ego: It felt great winning this hand!

Why?
The guy you isolate is loose-passive which means it is unlikely you will push him off a hand. Now lets have a look at what you got.. nothing. You also are out of position.
Very -EV move.

You surely are behind on the flop with your trash but raise anyways in a desperate attempt to push him off his hand. The A on the turn helped you with it as he obviously didnt have one.
Your play worked this time, but it will cost you a lot of money in the long run, please stop doing it.
