Default Re: shootaa - $200 NL

not to many crazy spots came up the entire video but there was one smaller spot i wanted to ask about/discuss.

UTG limps with i think 140, so 70bb's or so, and the big blind i think had about 100, and you overcalled J7ss otb after playing fairly aggressively.

Something i have been tinkering with in these spots is a smaller isolation based on the effective stacks when called. I.e. in this spot instead of 4x'ing you can 3x and still accomplish an isolation and have a larger pot to stack ratio on the flop. Even though it's just a 1 or 2 bb difference i think it's good vs those shorter but not short stacks as far as leaving 3 streets with more manuverable stack sizes.

What are your thoughts on this application? Am i overthinking isolation basd on effective stacks or is using this going to net me more money?

Also, i just don't like limping on the button, it makes me sad
