Did you not see villain's stats? Isolating with KTo is not even borderline against this opponent. It actually depends more on the people left to act.

I'd like more people to offer opinions whether the preflop raise was appropriate.

Personally, I'm having trouble playing too tight, and K10o confuses me. In fact, I would have either called or just mucked the hand.

Is mucking here ridiculously tight?

Re: Party 5/10 KTo
 

Depends on how well you play postflop.

Re: Party 5/10 KTo
 

turn raise sucks. just call down. you accomplish the same by raising the river if you improve. plus it sucks more if you're going to check the river on a blank.

"It works well in some situations for sure, but here it's just totally unnecessary. Especially against an erratic player."

The full description of the player is "Villan is like 70/5/1 or very close to it, been fairly passive but erractic. Not to hard to know where you at in a hand against him. Is capable of folding, but does call down quite a bit."

This player clearly isn't erratic to the point where he is unreadable- which allows us to fold (unimproved) on the river- so that the fairly rare (mostly passive) three bet on the turn doesn't cost us an additional two bets but just one. Against a truly erratic player it would be difficult to lay down on the river, but against this player it might be acceptable.

the chances of him betting into you with a four card straight on board and calling your raise are slim.
