Basically the death trap of HU is isoing weak and then being stationed off (or folding post)
I definitely don't think the average player is limp/calling here 80% of the time. Idk if ISO is better than check (I would check), but imo most players fold here 25-45%ish here and for sure is folding to cbets sometimes (we can use 1/4 or 1/3 pot cbet sizes on a lot of boards!). Also, average player limp/raises too much value so their limp/call range is very capped. I don't think avg player is limp/calling w like K3o Q4o J5o T6o type stuff - of course you see it some but you also see guys on the much nittier side of the spectrum too. Small raises and small cbets just don't have to work very often to be quite profitable. Also, 86o isn't really bottom of our range. It's a much better bluff combo than the suited connectors bc ISO the suited connectors pot commits us vs a limp/jam (which we probably don't want to do).
I would pay attention to villain's VPIP when considering this ISO. Definitely avoid doing it vs the lower VPIP guys. Also, if villain is the type to limp/call almost any two, you probably got some indicator of this before you reached 11 big blind stacks.
