clipped from www.notedpokerauthority.com The No-Limit Isolation Play The isolation play is one of the most profitable weapons in the professional cash game player’s arsenal. Yet it is also one of the least understood by most amateur players. Teaching the play thoroughly would take a book, not an article, so my goal here is merely to try to shed some light on the play. You’ll learn to identify it, to understand it, and finally to defend yourself against it. Spotting The Isolation Play I recently was playing in a $2-$5 game with a mandatory $10 live straddle. A weak player with about a $2,000 stack sat a few seats to my right. A friend of mine, a very strong professional player, was directly to my right. He was playing about $2,000 also. The weak player raised most pots to $45. About one out of three of those pots, my friend would reraise to $100. Frequently, everyone else would fold, the weak player would call the $55, and they’d see a flop.
