villian is unknown
my default isolation raise is to 5bb here, I must have missed the limper, doesn't really change things too much

thoughts on calling the flop vs a raise

thoughts on the turn raise, I'm not sure how I feel about it, mainly I'm not sure I can rep enough good hands to make it really believable

the other question is size, here it leaves $60behind with around a 105 pot which I don't like for bluffing, but tends to be good for valuebetting, does anyone think this type of bluff is better served for when its around 140bb effective? where you have better leverage on the river
