Isolated by a 2+2er: Hand #1
I decided to have an adventure, so I sat to the right of a 2+2er who I respect. He doesn't know who I am. For these posts I'll call him "Bro."
I've been raising a little light, but this is like my 15th hand of the session so he might not really know that yet. Party Poker (8 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero raises, Bro 3-bets, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero calls. Flop: 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, Bro bets, Hero raises... Results of this hand are in the Hand #2 post due to relevance so if you want to post without that info, don't read Hand #2 yet [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Fold this hand first in from middle position, unless you are semistealing. At 2-4, the word "semisteal" should probably not yet be a part of your poker vocabulary. Like many of the replies in your other post say, if I see you raising first in with a hand like this, I'm going to isolate you left and right.

it's not 2/4. [/ QUOTE ] Ah, okay, what limit, anyway? I still don't like the preflop raise with this hand. The way you played it, the flop C/R is fine, but what do you plan to do on a blank turn? Your pair of 7s is vulnerable against a 3-bettor, even if he did make a preflop isolation raise.

Re: Isolated by a 2+2er: Hand #1
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't raised this multiple times in this situation before. Actually, I did it several times today. MP2 is a *bit* early but when you've got tight players acting after you and especially when you've got tight players left to act and players who play badly in the blinds it's far from terrible.
The flop checkraise is goot. Bet the turn, call a raise, and play some pok-ah on the river. Bet a flush card, checkraise a 7. Rob
