Fold equity depends on the different types of Fish that have limped calls into the pot

I'm a fish and limp with AA, what size would you use to isolate me? :p

And would you call all in, call raise to let's say 15bb if deep stakes or just give your 3-4 bbs.

Would you decide by watching HUD stats?

No, I don't try to isolate players, unless they are all-in. I find it gets me into more trouble than its worth, and fish can get lucky or get good hands like any player.

If you want to catch the fish you got to cast your line where they are at.

Then you realize you're playing people that don't know starting hands and the isolating stuff goes out the door.

I think we must isolate almost limps with good hands

i would say if there is an easy possibility to isolate the weakest player on table and catch the fish then lets give it a try, because if other villains dont give me action i can play this game with each of them till there is only 1 left.

Fold equity is rare these days, as I see it now.
A raise is mostly an invitation for a lot of players (there is a big pot).
They all are not thinking rationally but only with their $signs in their eyes.

Why would anyone isolate a fish that limps AA when you just limp behind and destroy them post flop when deep?
