NL25 Unibet Q4s overlimp BU

Hi,

My usual line would be isolate CO with Q4s, but I guess limping is also fine.
I don´t really see players bluffing random rivers on limped pot and since pot isn´t bet I would likely fold everything besides backdoor flushes.
If BB is passive he would more often c/f his 5x than pot it, so I think he usually has there flush which he bets for value.

best regards,

wow Kaitz, long time no see! Thanks

On overlimping pre: I don't really want to see a multiway raised flop with Q4s (which will often happen on this table) but I'm fine with seeing a multiway limped pot with this hand. When BB and SB are both more normal but not 3bet happy players (and maybe I have some confidence in my FE vs CO postflop) then I am fine with isolating.

Not sure how often you see such a spot yourself at the moment, but might you think the same way?

Hi,

I would usually approach on this way:
would I raise pre-flop if Co would be folded: yes
is Q4s good enough to isolate weaker player pre-flop: usually answer is yes, unless there are very aggressive blinds who might 3-bet me then overlimping is fine.
I would almost never isolate weaker player on SB or BB, but being ip gives you just that big advance that you can raise 3xbb, get against him heads up and after c-betting can decide when to barrel, when to give up, when check back showdown value hands. Don´t think SB/BB would call you most of the times, since that means they need to play more than 40-50% of hands which isn´t really going to happen. Or if SB/BB is going to call then you don´t need to c-bet 3-way board and can always just give up.

best regards,

Some nice points. Thanks for replying

Actually makes me consider the possibility that in some spots I may be too aggressive on SB or BB with 1+ limpers in the pot.
