I think when he calls our squeeze, we prolly gotta give up on the flop. I think his call is a pocket pair a ton of the time, but please understand I may be influenced by the flop play, which makes me feel line a 66-JJ kinda hand.

We make this preflop play in hopes that Button was trying to steal.
But once he calls, we know that we need to improve.
Any move post flop with our 9 high is usually a spew.
Villain will call with a pair.
And he probably peels another card with his overs and his position.
After the flop contniuation bet, we obviously need to shut down.
I don't attempt this play preflop with 96.

When you squeeze and are called you have to bet the flop, I do it almost always when HU.
Why?
Because nobody wants to stack off with JJ or worse, thats the power of the reraise pf.
U do have a hard time on the turn though, and its really read dependent from there, if you put him on exactly JJ or worse and know he can fold it, fire the third barrel.

I couldnt disagree more. These are the hands that we should be squeezing with. Id rather raise with 96s then A6o. If we get called hes not in our range and we arent going to be dominated. we can take away the pot or stack a hand like QQ with the right flop if the squeeze is called.

Why would overs "peel" another card off on the flop for 25 bb's or 1/4 of his stack!?
