Hi there,
Villain CO is very short and plays 37/27 in 360 hands.
UTG is an unknown bronze star. That + the fact that he is limping UTG already point to the fact that he is a fish.
I know that I am OOP, but I still decided to just call the isolation raise from the short fish. Otherwise I would certainly push out the UTG fish & just stack the CO. QQ is pretty easy to play postflop here anyway, I can just fold if an A/K hit the flop. So I call & so does UTG.
The flop is bingo for me and I check in the hope that the CO commits himself on the flop. That way I can just call and trap UTG further. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen.
Now I have to bet out on the turn & I get raised by UTG. No sense in slow playing anymore, as I doubt he would ever raise there as a bluff.
I was mostly wondering how you would rate my pre-flop & flop actions here.
