Greetings everyone!
Long time lurker, first thread.
Checking if this would be the standard play with AKo in 1/2 NLHE?
Just sat down in the BB with $300. V is short stack, $60, in CO. There was a $5 straddle. Folds around to CO who raises to $26, fold to me with the AKo, so I decide to Iso to $85. Folds to V, who calls.
Community cards immaterial, just checking the above preflop play.
Thanks for any help given!

So, you're betting $60 into a pot that is ~35 figuring that you can isolate villain and that he will probably call since he has already committed almost half his remaining stack so you will really be betting $60 to win $~130 with AKo where your position will be irrelevant since you'll be all-in pre-flop.
Yeah, pretty standard. would be nice to have some reads on Villain (how he has played his short stack, when he got short-stacked, is he tilted, etc.), but even readless, it's pretty hard to fold there and if you're in the iso play seems best.

I don't think this one will hurt your table image any ... GL
