AK as an isolator, against an isolator

[Josh W]

20-40 on party.

There is a (no joke) a 93/6/0.5 player who limps UTG. The next player is a 17/8/1.9 player and raises.

HOwever, UTG+1 has been playing a lot of hands, always raising, trying to isolate UTG. I think his raise here means a little worse range of hands than would be indicated by his stats alone.

I threebet AKo, and just the three of us take the flop.

Flop is 962, rainbow. Checked to me, I bet, UTG calls, and UTG+1 checkraises. I threebet (hoping to get UTG out of there with his J7 or whatever that is drawing very live against me).

It works....UTG mucks, and UTG+1 calls.

Turn is a blank. Say, a 4. He checks, and I check.

River is a queen, he bets, and I call.

I'll post my turn and river thoughts later, but am curious as to how others would handle this situation.

Thanks,

Josh
