So I just read this post about the squeeze play. I admit I never really thought to do it before reading the article. Do you guys ever do this? Miller makea s good case I think. Like the preflop raise after some callers b/c teh callers are weak. Anyway, do you guys do it, and if so, what are your faovirte moves?

I was thinking about it, and I think i t would be really good in a tournament in the middle near the bubble or a little before that. B/c people start raising with bad hands and if someone calls then you can wack them both with a reraise. Am I on the right track?

I can't wait to try this out.

btw does anyone know what tournament that gavin griffin hand was in? I want to watch it now.

I squeeze with weak players in the hand. If they call, I know where I'm at. I don't squeeze with more than three weak players in the hand.

If an agressive preflop player has raised and there are 2-3 callers im squeezing pretty huge if I have position.

AKA 99+, K10o+, K8s+, A5s+, A10o+, along with some other random stuff.

Basically any hand that I feel is playable but doesnt play that well in multi way pots. You pick up the dead money right there pretty often and if you get a call or two you can take it down on the flop with a c-bet pretty often.

I hate bloating the pot with these types of hands, especially when they're so easily dominated. There's nothing wrong with seeing a flop with a suited ace with a nice big 3 or 4+ way pot, imo.

What about with suited connectors? I was thinking they would be good b/c if you get called you're probably dominated if you have an ace. So little cards would be better. What do you think?

I tend to just call with suited connectors or pps since our position is so good and when we hit our hand is pretty well disguised.

Punishing limpers is THE way to make money at lower limits. At worst, it's a necessary tool for the higher stakes.

Position + medium and above holding = squeeze.

A lot of the times if you have something like AT/AJ OTB with a bunch of limpers, it's less of a squeeze and more of a value bet.

By the way, it's important to have Fold to Flop Bet(%) in your GameTime+ or PokerAceHUD if you run these plays a lot.
