    Default 400NL: Squeeze with KQ?

    1. Bad super-lag (60/30 over several hundred hands) opens and gets a call from a fairly straight forward player. Squeeze good w/ KQ?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($746.40)
    UTG ($353.30)
    MP ($522.70)
    CO ($400)
    Hero ($385.50)
    SB ($167)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with K, Q.
    1 fold, MP raises to $14, CO calls $14, Hero raises to $65, 2 folds, MP calls $51, CO calls $51.

    Flop: ($201) J, 7, 6 (3 players)
    MP bets $68, CO folds, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $201


    2. Pretty much the same spot as above. Bet out HU postflop. Thoughts?

    I never squeeze KQ. Better to squeeze hands like 97s which are much easier to play post flop in my opinion. I especially don't like it vs someone with a 60 VPIP as you will likely end up in a large 3-bet pot w/ a marginal hand, and very few ideal flops.

    In general, i think i agree with the idea of not 3betting K-Q. However against someone who is so loose (seemingly loose also in 3bet pots) aren't we confidently felting TP since he could easily have a weaker kicker?

    Yep, if the raiser is loose and attempt to steal is over 30%, our kicker is not really a problem. If he calls and we hit any pair we're happy to stack off.

    Against a nit, 97s would be better imo.
