If that short stack busted, would that greatly improve your chances of getting to that optimal situation, if that answer is yes, isolate that stack with any two cards from any position. Alot of times, there will be two middle stacks to your left, with a short stack on their left. Now those two stacks are feeding off of that short stack, and the short stack is feeding off of the bigger stacks, who are right where they should be, on your right. That is the type of short stack that you can make a very risky isolation play against. If you bust that player, those two middle stacks on your left will quickly become short. They usually will not want to steal from larger stacks than they themselves are, becaue they usually feel like they are too deep to risk going broke at that time. So they have to start stealing from each other, with me continuing to take from that direction, they are essentially taking from one, then giving those chips to me.

How much do you raise in order to prevent the big stacks from being involved in the hand? Do you raise a % of their stack with any two or just push all-in to isolate?
