Commerce 20: Iso-Raise gone (Adjective)

Insane european man who is playing 80% of his hands and raising about half of them opens the CO and I 3bet A8o OTB. SB (mediocre 50yo woman tag, not a worldbeater but not a total idiot either) coldcalls the SB and BB (extremely loose and somewhat aggressive Russian guy) calls as well. CO calls, 4 ways.

Flop 844tt, SB checks, BB donks, CO calls, I raise, SB folds, BB 3bets, CO folds, I call.
Turn 3r, BB bets I call.
River Tr, BB checks I bet.

Re: Commerce 20: Iso-Raise gone (Adjective)

Flop looks like a wa/wb spot and I might be inclined to call, though I also like raising, given it prevents others from peeling cheap.

Other than that, looks good. His line looks like weaker 8.

Actually, if this Russian guy is the one I think it is (blonde, slim ~25 y.o. one), he will usually have very strong hand when he takes this line. Apart from this particular person, I am actually seeing this line with a strong range more and more recently from sane players (instead of check raising).

I think the missing (or implied) part of the argument is that there is something other than "it" that he can have which in this case is the flush draw.

But I'm actually not so sure of the river bet. when he checks here it's often cause he paired up. He can also have 99. He might be planning to sexy with a 4 or FH. OTOH you'll get value from K8s, Q8s, 89s, 87s and that's about it right?

Fine, let's just say he was getting value in.
