    Default What to do - vs squeeze

    FullTiltPoker Game #2577634596: Table Ariba (6 max) - $3/$6 - No Limit Hold'em - 21:12:18 ET - 2007/06/03

    The button is in seat #1
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to hlacheen [Tc Th]

    powpowjr folds

    Villain is a regular, 18/16/9.... How do you play this if you have a strong feeling he is squeezing.

    "if you have a strong feeling he is squeezing" ... push

    the hard part is having a strong feeling

    show the rest of the action up to you please.

    I'm assuming it's folded to you. If you really think he has a wide range here, you can push. You'll probably get some pretty bad calls too.

    With so much money in PF, I didn't see how a high PP would check behind on that flop.

    the board is super dry (given preflop hand ranges by the action) and he wants to help you improve maybe just a little?

    If he thinks the board is dry he must not think suited connectors are in my range. If that's the case, he must be putting me on a small PP, which he would not want to let "improve a little." If anything, he would bet the flop before an overcard came to kill his action, no?

    just seems like good players stopped playing AK like this once they learn how to beat 1/2. AA could still check behind this flop but i doubt KK would.

    you called a raise from the SB, and another reraise after that. i don't think suited connectors would be in your range.

    letting PP spike a set is bad of course, but he could also let you spike your KQ, AQ, AK, etc so he can make more money off you. i guess it would what he part your range on.

    My read was somewhat right, but I don't think he plays the turn without a hand. He had Q3.
