His fold to 3bet preflop

What from list below is not that important in spots where we isolate limper?

How my hand play against his range

How often is he going to fold preflop after you raise

Will he play "fit fold" on flop or not

How aggresive he plays on turn and river

Which limpers we should not pick to isolate?

Those who fold preflop to an isolation raise

Those who play fit / fold after calling preflop

Those who limp/raise a lot

Those who limp very weak range

Which limpers we should pick to isolate?

Those who limped for the first time – it can be seen as a weakness

Those who limp only strong range

The one who limped few hands earlier AQs on UTG+1, and we have no more information

Depends on what we wanna achieve in a particular spot with certain hand

If someone limp/raised you from early position, and you have no information about his game:

We should iso/call him – if we decided to raise, our hand is good enough to play despite his raise

We should iso/fold – on small stakes tournaments it is common that people limp/raise only with top part of theirs range

We should fold, and make a note, not to isolate him again

We should put his range to the test, and click another raise

Imagine, you isolate an amateur player (CO vs MP limp), and the board is 468r. Whose range hits better this board?

Limper's range

Your iso range

It is the same for both of you

If you rely on certain leak in limper's play (e.g. Big limp/fold, or big fold to cbet on flop) , and try to abuse it, but it don't work - what should you do?

His leak is real, so my gameplan is good – I must stick to it

I should be cautious – he can still have strong hand, or hit board

I shouldn't think too much, and just fold my hand when it is possible

I should ask someone on skype or discord, to help me with this spot
