Something that I've always wondered about...

What about this?

Your isolation raise is a +EV play due to the intial limper/raisers weak requirements. And when theres a loose call behind you, you still figure to have the best preflop hand.

However, versus 2 opponents, you may become a dog to them collectively ( say only a 45% favorite in the hand). This combined with ( as another poster pointed out) the facts that these players aren't giving up all that much preflop, and they may get away from their hands very cheaply when YOU do hit means that there may not be a HUGE profit in this situation.

Make any sense?
