Anyone hate the squeeze play here?

    Default Anyone hate the squeeze play here?

    Live 1/2 cash game at a donktastic table.

    I have been playing very tight after my top set was beat by a runner runner flush (all in on the flop). That knocked me down to $40 or so dollars, and I have only played one hand in the last hour (outside of the blinds) and that was KK on the button--I pushed all in, got one caller, and brought my stack back up to about 95.

    So another 30 or 40 minutes go by without me playing a single hand, then Super Loose Player raises to 15 UTG, and get 3 calls. I push with any two cards on the button in attempt to buy a big pot built by a guy who could be raising with 23o.

    Yes? No?

    I think you're misenterpreting your fold equity. I like this play with AA.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    I had $40 in front of me the first sime I pushed and was called with pocket 9's. Do you think a player is going to make that same call for ~$100? Also, do you think that just because they are top donkeys they wont notice I haven't been involved in a pot for over an hour?

    Notice yes, care no.

    well, the table seems ridiculously loose but the truth is, there is so much money in the pot one could argue this is +EV. But generally, I don't make this play.

    Amazingly enough, they all folded and I picked up the pot. I had my doubts that it would work, but I was prepared to rebuy, and figure getting called might be good for my image here which is much tighter than at other games I play (There are already a couple maniacs at the table, so no need for me to take that roll)

    Let's pretend for a second that I knew I was going to get called in at least one spot there. What would my range for pushing have to be? 99+ and AK? I call by a medium pocket pair seems more likely than a weak ace, but people at this game do overvalue AK, so I can't imaging AQ or AJ being good against any ace that calls me?

    I should have clarified. He's rediculously loose agressive, raising hands like j5o UTG, and is also the main reason everyone plays at this room

    there is a chance that everyone folds, so that gives you a little fold equity. Also, if you get called, it's most likely that you are 35% or, if your lucky a flip because he called with a lower pp. Obviously High pairs are possible.

    I'm not saying this is a great play, but i think it's +EV

    BTW, the quote is just a joke.
