$11, KK- enduce squeeze?
 

no reads.

given the stacks here in the blinds, should i call here to enduce a squeeze attempt, or are the stacks not right. Is enducing a squeeze to risky? etc. Or should I just push and forget about getting creative?

no real need to induce anything here. not many will squeeze a UTG raise

When ppl raise UTG, they usually are going to call a shove, push.

I'm not questioning UTG folding if I shove, I'm fairly confident he will call.

What I am asking is if it could be more +EV to enduce one of the Blinds to attempt a sqeeze and get a 3 way big all in pot holding Kings.

especially in an $11.

if they "squeeze" its just going to be because they are pushing for value, not because they think they have added fold equity thanks to your flat call

Alright, I can agree with the two statements above that people rarely, rarely squeeze for the sake of "squeezing" in an $11.

Hypothetically, if this were say, a $300 buy-in, generally speaking, could you try to enduce a squeeze here, or is it still just a shove?

people will see through that in a 300 mtt. I still push.


edit; What im trying to get at is that most people at the higher stakes mtt, if not all, can see through someone calling with 1/7th of their stack that they have a big hand. What is more sneaky is pushing all in a decent amount. Push in higher mtts and call more in lower mtts imo.

Reraise the pot!! Give yourself a chance to stack a TT-QQ, AK hand.

The only time I ever just call with AA or KK is when I know a player behind me is super aggressive and will 3-bet very, very light (which is rare). I will also just call if the original raiser will almost always continuation bet and call a raise (which is rare).
