The raise amount may have been standard, but 89s is not a strong hand. It's especially not a hand to isolate with.

What makes you think it was an isolation play? All he needs is one caller to price everyone in. I doubt this is his standard play, but it is a nice change of pace and he will take at least one stack every time he hits.

Anyway, OP specifically asked us to not "nitique" pre-flop so I'll sign off here.
