Re: The Squeeze Trap
I've been doing this for a while. It's not quite as profitable as it was when Harrington was all the rage and everyone was trying the squeeze play, but it's definitely an option, and with KK and QQ too. Doesn't work so well with AK, and if you try with KK/QQ, get no extra action and flop an Ace then you have to be disciplined enough to let it go most of time.
Another one is to make a big over-raise that looks like an AK squeeze when you have KK or AA after a raise and a flat call. It's all about staying one step ahead. As you say, more people are doing it now so it's becoming a little less effective.
Personally I think 4-betting light in the CO after being reraised by the blind is the new squeeze raising :-)
