Re: To isolate or not to isolate, that is the question
[ QUOTE ]
the isolation play seems fraught with the peril of lots of downside risk and unclear upside.
I thought about raising right here to isolate. But I did not pull the trigger because I was afraid the maniac might have the jack.

Why are you putting the burden of incomplete information and unclear outcomes entirely upon yourself? Why not spread it around a little bit? Raising the flop gives the weak opponent behind you with JT/J9 a very difficult decision to make. Likewise, you make AQo, KQ, and Q9 very sad that they have to give up their overcards/straight draws. You should take pleasure in making their lives difficult, just like the aggressive player is taking pleasure in making your life difficult.
