Spoiler

$10.25 pot ($0.46 rake)
Final Board: 2 Q Q K A
Hero mucked T K and lost (-$5 net)
UTG+1 showed A K and won $9.79 ($4.79 net)

Villain is 11/9 over 94 hands, this is his first limp.

What kind of a range should I be isolating here? and what about if I'm on the button?

On the river I doubt I can value bet and I made an assumption that he would mainly limp speculative hands such as small pairs. He can definitely call my turn bet with a wide range, and I think he could turn some SD into a bluff once it looks like I'm giving up.

Hey ChangNoi77,

Preflop iso-raise is fine. Mainly iso-ing high-card hands here for value. It's actually ok to complete weak and speculative hands to play vs the fish. Our exact iso-ing range should depend on factors such as villian's postflop tendencies and his stack size.

Flop check is fine.

Turn for value is fine.

River x/f is good here. The majority of players at these limits do not turn showdown value into bluffs, they nearly always just check down their showdown value. So unless there are some air hands you can think of in villain's range it's nearly always a value-bet from a better hand.
