Default Re: A8o isolation from the BB

I really really dislike this pre-flop move. All the limpers are fishy, and they're not likely to fold, so dead money is not an argument. Your position relative the aggressor after the flop would have allowed you to face the field with 2 bets and hopefully get it HU. Your putting in 3 bets and going multiway with a weak multi-way hand, no straight or flush value, top pair leaves you with a weak kicker, etc etc etc.

If we pretend pre-flop was a misclick, the rest of the hand is pretty good. I would probably call the flop 3-bet, and then raise his turn bet to try and get rid of the CO.
