Very interesting,Ed.

I found out, that many players rather tend to limp big Pocket pairs,AK or AQ in EP (FR) and then make a big reraise in order to isolate a player and get the additional money of limpers and callers. Youre right, that if a player does it, he does it often.
But then again, I only play rather low limits online. ;-)

I guess you really have to watch out first, what kind of hands he “fools around” with, before you take action.
