Right, I agree. In practice, though, I will almost never try to isolate myself out of position against a passive player on the turn. Perhaps there are situations to try this, but I don't believe I've ever come across one.
I'll spend extra bets when I think I could be behind when a bet comes from my right from a player over whom I feel I have good control, i.e., one who won't re-raise me and will likely give me a free card. I'll only rarely try to isolate myself out of position as proposed here, mainly when I feel that I have a hand I wouldn't mind showing down like a medium pair and I feel that the player to my left is overly aggressive and will isolate himself with just overcards.
Anyway, I can't come up with three hands that should play like this, but I'm not good enough to lay down the river. I'd almost expect to see BB show up with a flopped set for a boat, someone else with a weak ace, and someone who doesn't know how to play poker with KK or JJ.
