Isolation plays are most common against overly- Aggressive players ("maniacs") who frequently play inferior hands, or with players who may have a Drawing hand. Isolation plays are also common in Tournaments to isolate a player who is "short stacked", that is, one who is in imminent danger of elimination, and so is likely to be playing aggressively out of desperation. When an opponent has a small pocket pair he may raise a large amount to knock out other players because typically a small pocket pair is 50 percent in a heads up situation. SEE ALSO
