With the isolator in the pot, pokerstove gives me about 36% equity. Without him, I'm at about 54% against UTG's range. So by chasing away the isolator, I'm only gaining around $100. Is that enough to compensate the $400 im putting at risk?

Makes me think that calling would still have been the correct play...
But since shorty is so short, we are basically heads up here against the SB. When we are heads up are we not raising AQs like always?

So you're saying only raise AA, KK maybe QQ here?
