Default Re: Too aggro 3rd/4th?

Ok the way I read 7CSFAP this is the type of situation to raise on 3rd in. You are trying to knock out hands better than yours behind you by making them call 2 bets cold. By getting HU with the overcard you are in a coin flip even more so if the opp has a dead cards.

Ask yourself this - what is the villain's hand range, and what percentage of this hand range are you behind? Remember equity analysis isn't the best way to determine this, because you will rarely get past 5th street and often you will find a fold on 4th. Also re-read the book so you have a better understanding why so many are advocating a fold or at the very least a call rather than an isolating raise.

PS: In hold'em I make mental notes all the time when someone abuses the isolation move, those opponents are natural ATMs in the long run.
