    Default $55 turbo, sandwiched

    Background:
    L/P is a loose/passive player. He is a losing player. He has been minraising shit from every position, and often floats people down to the river.

    TAG is on the big blind. TAG is a winning player, and I know that he is capable of making plays without cards. At the 50/100 level I opened for 300 on the button and he instapushed. I am certain that he had trash and was restealing but I didn't want a 60/40 at that level.

    If I call here, I think TAG will pull a squeeze because he knows that L/P is opening with trash.

    If I raise here to isolate L/P, he will call and I will be forced to see a flop which I don't exactly want because he could have any 2 so most flops aren't a lock for me even though I'm sure that I'm ahead here.

    I could fold, but this seems really weak.

    Blinds: 75/150
    Relative stack sizes:

    CO| L/P (t1480)
    BT| Hero (t2475) [KcTc]
    SB| (t1115)
    BB| TAG (t1870)

    CO minraises to 300, Hero...

    I fold here, KTs sucks.

    With a stronger hand, I would push. I would rarely call here.

    hmm maybe you can become the agressor and push here. Your the big stack at the table so SB and BB (TAG) are not going to call unless they have a good hand. CO may call but its unlikely b/c he is probably raising with crap. I know its a marginal play but I would probably make a stand here.

    With this read I shove. You need the read though. Normally I just muck.

    Yeah that's the thing. I'm leaning towards an isolation push here because I'm almost positive that I'm ahead. Plus this way the tricky BB can't try to fuck with me.

    I folded this, and regretted it even before I saw the flop.
