Ya that is exactly right. I can imagine iso also works with a spewy/stationy/predictable player though - so just whenever there is someone that you don't need a monster to enter a pot with for +EV, and when it's best played HU.
HOWEVER, it's scary when they show strength and play back at you, such as in this case. If iso was your initial plan then you gotta think twice when you are the aggressor turning into the caller. It seems that here OP just had the wrong read though, as V doesn't seem to be nitty but rather spewy (two streets of bad bluff turned into a value bet) - MAKE NOTES AND ABUSE LATER.
