I think you have a fair point. One should never attempt isolation OOP with a vulnerable hand not knowing the table yet. That's good advice in it's own right.

Given that hero did in fact gravely misread the table dynamic, and is now in a tough spot, you have to imagine the equity of betting here on the flop is +EV. I wish we could put together the actual numbers. I'm sure they're real close. I like the fact that any further action is clearly defined, and therefore overrides pot odds on a lot of occassions on late streets. To me, pot odds/committment is overvalued when the villains range is tight to a range you're behind. I think you can fold a lot with 3-1 and 4-1 in spots like that, because those odds become dirty considering the range you're likely against. I'm betting $40 to win $80 on this flop everytime though with TT, and correctly folding a lot to resistence with good odds.
