Isolation move- retarded?
 

UTG+1 is a good observant player capable of folding. I thought if he really liked his hand he pushes after BB's allin (though possibly not if he has aces). I should have a pretty tight image.

Yuck, you are trying to isolate for what at best is a coin flip and at worst completely dominated. Hate it.

Re: Isolation move- retarded?
 

I don't like it. Seems like a great way to throw away the advantage of position.

Re: Isolation move- retarded?
 

Thanks guys. That's what I thought. UTG+1 did fold- but I probably looked like a jackass.

Would you with AK, 1010, or JJ? What's the worst hand you would do this with?

Re: Isolation move- retarded?
 

I would do it with AKsoooted(lol i love typing it that way), 1010 and above.

Re: Isolation move- retarded?
 

Sounds good, rocky, thanks. I love typing it that way too. They should make that the official spelling.

Re: Isolation move- retarded?
 

am I too tight? I fold this and let them fight. I hate AQ.

Re: Isolation move- retarded?
 

no ur not too tight. The preflop call is fine the isolation play sucks though.
