Reraise preflop to isolate the allin, don't price other people in by flat calling.

fold seems good here

you need to re-raise preflop though

reads would be good.

I agree you need to re-raise pre-flop, but not to isolate rather for value.

What was the reason for your preflop flat call? Answering this question will help your game more than just listening to the barrage of "re-raise preflop" without understanding why, or understanding why your thinking was flawed.

True, I am new to NL. I have a NL Preflop Strategy for Beginners and there I should just call oversized bets (bets &gt; 6BB is oversized for them). My instinct was to reraise to protect from callers behind me, but I was trying to play correctyl. I do see the logic in reraising to isolate the All-in. Would a 2.40$ raise preflop have been good here?
