checkraising to isolate the bettor
was just rereading HPFAP to pick up on a few more hints, and came across the part about checkraising with low pair/overcard kicker or with top pair/bad kicker to isolate a bettor. How well can this tactic be employeed at the micro-limit level?
Here's one where I put it into play last night:
I call 5 limpers from the small blind with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Six callers (gotta love these fish)
Flop is 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I check
Checked around to button, who is a very loose player
button bets
I raise to isolate the button
Folded around to button, button calls
Comments? Good play, bad, otherwise?
