Super aggressive big stack, isolate before you call!

I have been caught a couple of times now by a situation where my range on a super aggressive big stack was dead on, but I got caught out by the third man in the pot.

Put simply, my A J off was dominant against the super aggressive big stack raise, but when a normally tight third player also calls the big raise, my hand may no longer be ahead.

The situation outlined in my prior big stack post, where my A kicker was correctly higher than the big stack, but I get caught by a third man in, has lead me to refine my approach further.

If anyone calls the big reraise, or goes all in before me, of course I am out unless on really premium hands.

Figuring out the big stacks range and using it to manipulate odds in your favour is a great strategy for surviving their raises. But unless you combine those odds with being able to isolate the big stack, another player showing strong interest is a good time to get out.

So, if just the super aggressive big stack is in, the range is:

77 s up
A 10 up
K J up


If another player shows interest, then the range decreases to top 10% or less.
