    Default 100NL BU vs. blinds squeeze spot

    Villain is a standard tag (22/18/8.3 3b) I've played with before, but this session we've only played a few hands and I don't have any particular reads on him that pertain to this hand
    Caller is a tighter weak player
    I've been 3bing aggressively on this table, I'd expect him to flat a lot of hands IP that we're ahead of like T9s, 98s, other random crap and to protect my equity in the pot against flips like QJo that he will fold to a 3b
    I also probably don't mind getting it in here because it's a common squeeze spot and if he 4bs as a bluff and folds he's going to be costing himself a lot of money because he creates favorable pot odds for getting it in
    and he might have to call it off if he 4bs a hand like 77 because he needs 31.5% against my range to call it off

    but if getting it in here is too loose, should I flat and play 3 way?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (4 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Button ($100.75)
    SB ($100.80)
    Hero (BB) ($114.95)
    UTG ($160.40)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 9, 9
    1 fold, Button bets $3.50, SB calls $3, Hero raises to $15, Button raises to $36, 1 fold, Hero raises to $114.95 (All-In)

    i would call pre as a standard, but if you take this line you have to stack off. 3bfing is not good.

    i agree to flat here is best.
    the thing is I think you'll fold worse hands and get action from better. if you're known to 3bet/squeeze lightly then the weaker tighter player could be flatting big hands here hoping you'll do something crazy, so that's one reason not to squeeze here.

    the other thing is I think you're better off squeezing huge hands and crap here. if villain folds to 3bets then do it with a huge range right

    i'd say the only time you'd want to 3bet/get it in here is with previous history and villain having huge 4bet probably 5%+ where you can get it in against Ax/88/77/33 or whatever stuff you dominate.

    not calling preflop gives up so so much value. there are tons of other hands you can use to 3bet here instead.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.
