raise for value.

didn't someone just post this exact same situation?

I raise because we have a good hand and I'd like the BB to fold.

Thanks, trying to understand this iso-raising thing. I should raise all LP-limphands in this situation if BB not loose?

I don't. If I have say 98s in the SB, I'll gladly completely and play a 3way pot. In situations like this, I think our equity is too good to fold, but we don't do well enough against the limpers range to raise.

The best hands to isolate raise with are ones that have a chance to win without improving.

Aces, kings, 22+?

Even though I think KTo is ahead of button's range and I could value raise I call here because my newbness means I'm unlikely to play this well after the flop. If I don't connect I'll probably fire too many bullets or not fire and and have the pot stolen. Also, button is so loose he might come for a ride if we hit TP.

Also, limping only gives BB all the better odds to call.

Yes. I'm not impliying that you should do it with every king though or that you shouldn't with a hand like QJs though.
