Review: Hand 63, A8o and Hand 69, 88

[topspin]

Are these hands all from the same table? If so, it seems like it's tight enough that you're often seeing hands folded to you in mid-late position or with a single limper. The following hands caught my eye:

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed)
Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.50.
6 folds, CO (poster) checks

Folded to me in the MP2 with a poster and a lot of dead money, I think this hand is good enough to raise for value.

Anyone else here raise from the SB hoping to isolate MP1?
