    Default Squeeze gets 4bet

    UTG+1 is std TAG, SB is solid and thinking, not overly defending his blinds. I´ve been caught floating and squeezing before but not by him. I was torn apart that he a) has the goods and expected me to raise and b) he´s annoyed and gets silly with 22-88

    $1/$2 No Limit Holdem
    6 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($212.60)
    UTG 1 ($224.00)
    CO ($191.50)
    BTN ($200.00)
    SB ($214.65)
    Hero ($230.95)

    Pre-flop: ($3, 6 players) Hero is BB
    1 fold, UTG 1 raises to $7, 2 folds, SB calls $6, Hero raises to $27, UTG 1 folds, SB raises to $87, [color=#cc0000]Hero goes all-in $230.95

    I dont think people 4bet fold when they size their 4 bets like this. Your making him pay 127 to win about 350. Even if he puts you on QQ+/AK hes should call he with all his pairs (22-88) which are what your hoping he has so I don't get this play at all.

    Disclaimer: I play microstakes, so shoot me down, but...

    If he does have 22-88, and puts you on a QQ+/AK, he needs 41% equity but has 35%, so he folds. If he has QQ/AK he is getting damn near exactly the right price, so I guess he folds to avoid variance/rake. If he has KK+ he obviously calls.

    However, if he has 22-88, or QQ/AK, and thinks there's even a small chance that you're trying to buy out of a squeeze he's getting a pretty good price to call.

    So in order for him to fold your read that he has 22-88 has to be dead on, *and* he has to put you exactly on AK/QQ+. This seems like a stretch to me. I guess if you think he might try it on with 22-88 he might try it on with some suited connectors, but does that happen often enough to balance out the above? And would he have called with suited connectors OOP?

    Am I wrong about this? If so, why please?

    This is bad because

    1) He might have called a big hand (88+,AQ+) because the initial raiser is UTG.
    2) You just squeezed an UTG raiser and SB caller (totally different if its BTN/SB).. this means alot of strength, but hes RE-RAISING YOU!!!
    3) Once he 4bets this, whether its 22+ or KQs hes never folding to a shove anyway imo, and obv his range crushes you. You want to pull these moves when you have a certain amount of FE, here you dont.

    Fold to 4bet. Tough spot if u somehow get here with 88

    Can offer RB deals on most sites, PM me.

    If you're sure he hasnt seen you squeezing alot I would get it in with
    TT-AA, AK maybe AQ or worse if he was shorter but with
    A3o I just let it go because I think he's hardly ever folding in this spot even if he's weakish.

    (Weak players usually show up here with 66-JJ, sometimes AQ/AK + really random shit but I rarely see QQ+.)
    Currently thinking of a new quote/signature... Some sort of prayer to the Poker gods for enlightment etc..

    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    Your thinking is good, but you fail to see that he is getting the correct pot odds to call with 22-88 and it's not even close for him. This is burning money.
