I'm not sure how all your games play, but isolating at my typically loose table is a really hard thing to do. Often times it just takes one loose call behind us / out-of-the-blinds, and bam, 5way to the flop with not a great hand.
Even really increasing our raise size to be more successful at isolating ain't necessarily a good idea. We'll win the blinds/limps lots, but when we get called, we're typically up against a hand that is crushing us and ain't going nowhere to a cbet; sorta like open shoving any hand we're playing (we'll win a zillion pots, but we'll lose money overall if we're doing this too loosely).
