I read pistolero's HH transcript for the session thread, and his isolation play is excellent, raising to push blinds out where i usually fold (the blinds at 2/4 stars seem to love to call raises, which doesn't help isolating with A9/KT etc).

He was also running bad over the session i had, with some cruel suckouts, but i noticed a hand where a person i had tagged as quite passive started betting at him; it looked like "shot-taking" to me.

My advice would be for pistol to pretty much keep up what he's doing. But yeah, single out the laggy thinkers who try and push you out and SD against them. Just don't take it too far and SD against anyone who raises you.

Better luck,
Pete

At 2/4 stars the blinds love to call preflop but most play fit or fold postflop which can be very profitable because you often make money even when you miss.
