$3 NL HE: Continued my losing streak with this hand ...

The guy on my right is somewhat short and has has shoved a few times with very weak hands. I feel I have the best hand, so I attempt to isolate with the shove.

I didn't think a fold was in order, and just calling seemed wrong too.

Bad move with such a large stack in late position?

Bad move period?

IMHO standard isolation play. You can't just call here leaving behind just a bit more than 50% of your stack.

What I figured as well.

Thanks. (busy getting sucked out on the river again)

You did the good thing...
Next hand...
Better luck on that one...

isolating is standard and with any half decent player the isolation would have been successful. Just unlucky u run into some moron who thought AJs was goood after 2 allins ahead of him.

Well played. I'm having a bad streak too and sometimes hands like this i'm tempting to fold because i know somehow that i'm going to lose.

There¡s always an idiot like the one with AJ who makes the worst play and get rewarded, but still the rule for me is to keep going with what i think is the better play. (even if i know that somebody is going to suck out on me).

Also Pokerstars it's being hell for me this month, i stoped playing there because of the bad beats. In your case, against 2 villans it was a 50-50, that's ok. But i being losing for example 77 against 44, AA -K7, AK - AQ, AA-92, and a lot more like this.
