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

It's definitely something worth considering and I guess something I didn't mention in the video. I think the blinds, at least the one reg in the SB that hand who I said I thought I had seen playing PLO very aggressively might interpret a smaller raise size for what it was and 3 bet me lightly even more often than if I just made my standard raise size in that spot. I also, depending on how large he raises and how many of the limpers call, have the option of over-calling and closing out the action once it comes back to me if one of the blinds do decide to raise. This gives me the best relative position post-flop and position on both of the limpers regardless of how the blinds choose to play their hands.
So overall, it's an option, but I don't like it as much as what I chose.
