Daily Hand Quiz

I want to call but can’t justify it given the stack sizes and position and my rep and the sense that I may have the worst hand here. So I fold.

Also I am contemplating a visit to the Horseshoe Southern Indiana Hotel & Casino for some live action. Any suggestions?

Easy fold for me. Most likely won’t hit a set, and then what on the flop? Don’t want to be out of position for the rest of the hand. I’d pick a better spot to go to battle.

Reasons to fold:

* Not good enough odds to setmine.
* 77 plays poor post flop / multiway.
* Raise needs to commit too much of H’s stack to induce a fold.
* H will play OOP post flop.
* Image is not optimal for shove here.
* Very little invested – cut your losses and let it go.

I also found it odd that the title calls this a “possible ISO raise”.
In my experience… if you’re trying to isolate, a min raise rarely does the trick.

I shove because I feel like this is a good spot to be way over aggro. Plus if the guy’s got aces I’m sure we’ll spike a 7 and can then taunt him in chat for tarping.

Arrrr in!

Fold.

But here’s a more important question: how do you range v’s min raise? I don’t think i’d ever just min raise here myself. Should I be employing this iso amount more often? What hands would be appropriate?
