[Edit]My apologies, I realise I should have posted this in Hand Evaluations BSS until 0.05/0.10 but I don't know how to move it.

I'm on the button with KJo and 2 loose passive players limp ahead of me.

I'm confident I can take these guys on because they are limping with a very wide range of hands.

I was seriously tempted to raise to isolate one of these players. However the starting hands chart says fold, so I folded.

They went to showdown and they had A7s and 76o.

I entered the following hand ranges in equilator:
22+
A2+
broadway
suited connectors
offsuit connectors

which resulted in
KJo: 70%
villian: 29%

Therefor I should have raised and calling is incorrect?

Turn: ($0.08) A♣ (4 players)

River: ($0.08) 8♠ (4 players)

starting hands chart is just a guide, not a rule.Therefore you should definitely isolate with KJ.


isolate, cbet, fold against resistance

FYP and +1.

I'd also raise this on if I am on the BU or in the CO, but I think you can fold if your position is any worse.
Once you're 3way+ on the flop I generally back off from cbetting, but HU most of the time I do cbets because it's usually +EV (but it still depends on the opponent and the board structure!).
