Default Re: $22 - 80/160 A6s squeeze over 2 limpers

Given your reads, your play is pretty standard for me. It's a bit better if you have a slight higher stack (for fold equity), but unless you have terrorized them in last minutes and you think there is a good chance they will fold, choosing Axs as a squeezing hand is fine and will lead to good results in future.

It's profitable, as it is most likely that your hand is at least not an underdog to anyone here in this pot and you have fold equity (and ICM calculators will show you a light profit too here), and it's also profitable as it will make your future decisions easy. If you bust, they are very easy, if not you will have a nice stack that will give you a nice advantage when the bubble comes near and if all fold and you lose to the all-in guy, well you have the right stack to steal and you will be in late position the next hands. So go on and be satisfied with your play, it's probably the best.

A 3rd reason for it is that your hand given' the stacks is not easy to play. What to do on a 26Q-2suited-Flop? What on AT5-Flop?? Hard to say, If you are favorite (and often you'll might have the best hand on such flops), you should protect your hand, but if another will call or push you usually are beaten. What if you hit your Flush-Draw?? As you will be OutOfPosition, it's really hard and most people won't be able to hand it good, at least, I would not, and as pf it's profitable for you to move in, do it and avoid any kind of further possible mistakes.
