Maybe the guy with Q9o wouldn't have pushed if he hadn't read about squeeze plays, but don't you think that's a bad thing? You desperately WANT someone with Q9o to do this when you hold Aces.

Don't get me wrong. It's a great thing.

What I was getting at, is if this type of situation occurs twice as often, you're stack is at risk twice as often, effectively doubling the volatility.

And with that increased volatility, has a TAG style (with it's slow stack building nature) become obsolete?

I'm just wondering if the only counter-measure would be to take the risk of building a big stack (to offset the increased amount of times you're stack is being put at risk) or busting out with a LAG or Hyper-LAG style.
