Isolating with the Gigabet Dilemma (long)

So, all in all, when I said that you don't have to do anything to win when the stacks are set up that well for you, this is the actual why of it. The survivalists are stealing from the players who are on the edge of being a survivalist. You and the other largest stack are stealing from the survivalists. So, basically, until someone calls an all in bet, the survivalists are taking from the players near that point, and are giving me and one other stack those chips(which is why I said I think the best spot for the second largest stack is really two to my right, so he isn't getting any of the survivalists chips).

I felt that this paragraph was the most clear and helpful for me - as it (for me) added yet another factor in the isolation push/fold decision (i.e., the degree to which stack sizes are correctly orientated w/ the "ideal" stack model). Now, to find out if I can actually apply it [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Thanks Giga.
