ok isolation raise?
villain vpip is ~60% and is passive to avg. postflop.
converter is crapping out. 10 handed. Villain calls in UTG+1, I raise in CO with K9o. Blinds had tag stats. |

Re: ok isolation raise?
If they are not very good TAGs (aware that you isolate) it is a very good move. Even if villain has a better hand than you, his lousy postflop skills will still make it +EV.

Re: ok isolation raise?
Wow –
Most all like this raise. Interesting. There are going to be so many better spots to beat this player. As my sarcastic picture indicated, I think it’s a really really thin raise. I don’t understand why you want to isolate here with King High. If’s he’s loose passive, I’m going to expect a lot of calling on the flop and probably latter streets.

Re: ok isolation raise?
I agree when you're isolating someone really loose you need a hand with good showdown value, and I don't think k9o is good enough. Also, if those guys in the blinds really are TAGs, they're not gonna let you continue isolating if showdown that k9o.

Sarge[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Youre points are valid, and I'm changing my line of thinking now since I missed one very obvious variable that you mentioned here. I said that the situation was perfect to go for an Iso play here, but if youre against the type of opponent who doesnt fold easily postflop it still may be better to call here and see the flop. And if Your opponent will fold easily postflop than this is a must raise given the description of the other players yet to act. I dont see how anyone can fold here given that your hand is likely so much better than your opponents. I am a tight player who only sees 15-18% of all flops, and i fold K9o about 99% of the time preflop, but im not folding it here, and i think no else should either. One other point, I have always felt that K high had a signicant amount of showdown value vs a very loose opponent. Anyone else agree or disagree? |

Re: ok isolation raise?
I'd probably need a little more then K9o to isolate. I would fold this one.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't play K9o with someone else in the pot ahead of me, regardless of his stats. K9o pretty different than KTo, since it offers no straight possibilities. Many times you'll end up outkicked when you do hit your K, since your limper could be limping with KT, KJ, KQ. I think it's a pretty risky move. |
