Isolation Raising From the SB

[IGMorton]

You are in the SB. 1 player limped in front of you. What are your isolation raising standards given that you will be out of position? Assume the BB might call 20-30% of the time.

I'll usually raise with the hands below. Do i have too little respect for my poor position?

seems to light to me. I wouldn't raise hands that you want isolation on. The positional disadvantages really hamper you. I'd only raise for value.

these are ok as a starting point, but two super important variables are how good he is, and less importantly, who is the BB and where did the limper limp from.
