Hand Analysis please,
 

Hello all,

Ive been on the poker scene for relatively a short period of time. Learned what holdem was in Jan 06 and been playing online since with the exception of a couple of live major events. Would like to take advantage of this great community and hope that I can gain as well as give to this forum.

I would like some thoughts on this hand from this weeks $320 150k on Stars. Obv this is probably one of the worst tables I could be at because its completely stacked, that being said; I was playing pretty tight for about 20 mins at this table not picking up much of anything. Randallin was playing pretty aggressively during my time there, and thats when this hand occurs:

PokerStars Game #11014158093: Tournament #55435247, $300+$20 Hold'em No Limit - Level X (300/600) - 2007/07/19 - 00:26:57 (ET)

Re: Hand Analysis please,
 

It's a rather typical squeeze - especially if Cap'nJackpot is raising light.

Of course, this could be thetime RandALLin called with AA trying to trap and you squeezed behind, but even if he has something like AJ you're not in horrible shape.

I might not have squeezed here, but it doesn't look like the worst play in poker history.

Re: Hand Analysis please,
 

Looks fine - Randall could be trapping here, he could not be, whatever the case, I think that these two cards a pretty damn standard for a squeeze. Nice work.

I like it OP.

Re: Hand Analysis please,
 

Well I wont reveal the ending just yet. I took major heat from a few other players I know for making this play regardless if I won/lost the hand im just trying to probe and see what you guys think.

Re: Hand Analysis please,
 

OR's range is much wider than most here and CCer knows this. Both have big stacks. Thus both have wide ranges. OR has to fold most of his opening range and while I don't think CCer is folding very often, I'm sure shoving is +ev. And you're sooted.

This is based on knowing the villains, and knowing they know each other. but even against randoms, this is OK.
