Am I supposed to isolate here?
Final 2 tables of Paradise's $50,000 guarantee.
Although this hand didnt mean much in the long run, I think it introduces a possible leak in my game. Im in the SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] UTG goes all in. It is a measely amount, about an SB's worth more after calling the BB. It's folded to me in the SB. I have around 100k in chips, the BB has around 50k. The blinds are 2k/4k. My move? I called, even though I thought pushing might be better. Flop came 234, i checked, BB bet and i folded. The river was a 5, would have given me the nuts. BB showed A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] to beat UTG's K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] |

I would. You don't want to take that hand three-handed. Raise it up, but don't push.

Raise it up, but don't push. [/ QUOTE ] This is a great point. You definitely want to raise, but need to take into consideration that BB could have a hand. You need to have the discipline to fold if BB pushes over you (I didnt check his stack, but I'm assuming he would seriously dent yours). |

Re: Am I supposed to isolate here?
Was your goal not to eliminate the player? His stack was immaterial to both you and the BB. I think you played fine, the BB erred when he bet (betting clearly states that he has a hand he thinks will eliminate the other player). I don't understand why the BB bet here.
Lucky for him he did though... |
