Re: Raising from the BB.. $5
The isolation shove is a must I think.
I would raise more the 1st time if I were going to raise from the BB.
On this hand however, I prefer a check PF. We have a nice hand that we would like to see the flop with. If you are going to raise from the BB as a semi-bluff/steal, do it with the worst of hands. Stuff like 93o. Don't do it with a hand that would like to see the flop.
Note that this is just the opposite from the button. On the button you should be more likely to raise these sorts of marginal hands.
There is a whole section on this NLHTP in the concepts and weapons part.
