Yeah it does open myself up to being exploited. But I'm not gonna stop iso raising 35% from the BTN because unless the people who call are stations I think it's very profitable especially if you play a heads up pot in position vs a fish. I mean just look at this!
MP2 46.47% 44.92% 1.55% Q7s
MP3 53.53% 51.97% 1.55% 99-22, ATs-A2s, KJs-K2s, Q2s+, J2s+, T7s+, 97s+, 86s+, 75s+, 64s+, 54s, 43s, 32s, ATo-A2o, KJo-K2o, Q8o+, J8o+, T9o, 98o, 87o, 76o
We have 46% equity vs the crap people limp call with even with a hand as weak as Q7s. But the problem in these spots is when a good TAG recognizes that you're iso raising so wide on the BTN. And if we're supposed to fold > 85% of our range which is mostly what's being suggested here then he can 3 bet from the blinds very wide and show a huge profit. There's a reason they don't 3 bet light in general and that's cause people don't fold. But if they know I'm gonna fold > 85% of the time they'd be stupid not to 3 bet light.
On the other hand when you're dealing with one or two 3 bets from a good TAG you haven't really seen 3 bet light before it's a very uncomfortable spot cause you know he could be exploiting you yet 4 betting seems spewy when you don't have "proof". This is why I hate having good TAGs on my left.
