Yes. While I know you were trying to shut out theforce and get H/U, that's quite the overbet. Did he flip over Aces or Kings (or fours)?

AQo...

would you say that if he folded?

codewarrior · #4 08-01-2005, 04:07 PM

No, because he wouldn't have folded Aces or Kings. Which is why I don't like the huge overbet - you're only getting called by hands that beat you.

Isnt that always the risk of isolation?

gildwulf · #6 08-01-2005, 04:14 PM

If every time I made a decision in poker I worried about the person next to act having Aces or Kings, I would be a very shitty poker player.

I think at this time, many fish are ready to spite call with any hand that looks pretty.

Since you're more concerned with keeping the short stack from stealing your blind and knocking him out of the tournament, than with getting his 400 chips, an isolation raise doesn't seem right. Call, and hope the other big stack will work with you.

the blinds are 12% of the chips in play and you get aces or kings 1 in every 100 hands, you are gonna raise to what 2000 then fold getting great odds? the play is fine if you have any read on BB that hes not crazy.
