$3/$6 Blinds No Limit Hold'em 9 handed

Seat 4 is the button
Total number of players : 9
Seat 1: HERO ( $396.9 )
Seat 2: Villan ( $872.3 ) 20/12/19.00 with 129 hands


Seat 8: BAD1 ( $111.1 ) 42/13/1.5
Seat 9: BAD2 ( $285 ) 44/12/.85

BAD1 and BAD2 are really terrible players... get them alone in a hand.

Dealt to HERO [ Jc Jd ]

PREFLOP:

BAD1 raises [$18]. // Bad player raises!
BAD2 calls [$18]. // Bad player calls


HERO raises [$100]. // I'm thinking that I want to isolate the bad players so I can get them alone, I figure JJ is plenty to fight these bad players.


Villan raises [$872.3]. // Good tight very aggressive player 21/12/22.00 (134 hands) 3 bets me... what would you do here?
I've only seen the Villan show AA and QQ in the last 130 or so hands...

// This is exactly what I didn't want to happen ...
// a good player sticking his nose in while I take a chainsaw
// to the bad player petting zoo.


Now I'm thinking I should not have over bet. Probably a bet of around $40 to $50 would have been better. Or is it better to just call the $18 and avoid this kind of mess? ... or is something else better?

Folded back to me.

I think this is an example of how *not* to isolate bad players...

Should I have bet about $55 or so to try to isolate or should I not bother with trying to isolate by overbetting?
