Default Re: LO8 Iso raise +lost on the turn.

In general I would not raise PF in this situation.

You have a nut diamond flush draw. I do not want to chase out players who may have weaker diamond draws.

You have three Broadway cards. If the flop hits your hand you are likely to have top two pair and/or a nut straight draw. Any low draws will be backdoor in this situation. Let the low draws in preflop to build the pot.

You have A4 for low. In the games I play in neither blind is likely to fold either A2 or A3 preflop when faced with a raise to promote my own low to the best low draw.
