Squeeze should be more like $22 I guess.

Anyone shove flop? Checking sucks because if we're ahead, they will let a free card come off and then we're screwed. Betting sucks because someone easily has JJ here. WWYD?

Why would anyone prefer a lead here?

Same villain, 60 hands later. Calls flops light, even with air. Call the shove? Haven't seen this kind of aggro before.

Anyone ever fold here? Looks like a slowplayed 5 or an 8. We do beat 2pair... but they might be scared and c/c. The river lead is almost always strength.
