Not to any overcard. I think you have to be very careful if an ace hits. If a passive player raises you, you're done of course.

The problem with playing pocket pairs in an isolation play like this is if a passive player flops top pair with a suspect kicker, he's liable to just call you down and you'll throw a couple bets away. I think the play has a little more value at casinos because the opponents are easier to read.
