NL25 - in position facing possible squeeze play
 

original raiser is a good tag. Villain is unknown. Can we call here? This looks a lot like a squeeze play to me...

This is not a squeeze play.

A squeeze play is when the CO raises the BTN flats and the BB raises.

This is a limp re raised pot and I don't think I could hit the fold button fast enough.

I know it probably sucked when the flop came down 962 but thats life.

Ok this isn't a bad beat story, it's a legit question. Whether it fits the technical definition of a squeeze play or not, it looked like the UTG limper might be making a play. FWIW, I did fold.

Easy fold, this tends to be people realising they actually have AA/KK and that they should be playing it fast, not trying to get in a multiway pot with the world.

No one is limp reraising with air at 25NL.

limp-reraises are pretty strong moves (although they are not always {KK+,AK} by any means).

he has 'squeezed' four players. it's just unlikely that someone would attempt that.

Calling is by far the worst option here, you're leaving yourself with less than a psb left on the flop - I assume we're folding any non six flop.

If you think hes fos you can bluff shove here although I don't recommend that either - its much better than calling though.

Well no, if I call, it's not for set value, it's because I think the guy has air which means I am probably shoving (and even calling a shove) on most reasonable flops.

So like I said, I did fold however I was interested if anyone thought we could call or shove. Agreed that a lot of the time a limp/re-raise means a big hand here but it doesn't always mean that, and my spidey senses were tingling that this guy was FOS.
