Default Re: live 1/2 straddle squeeze?

k, two followup questions:

1)If my hand is too good for the squeeze here (pot's $45 minus the $5 rake), then what's the best hand I should be squeezing here? K9o? 94o? 23o?

2)can someone asplain to me why my hand is so good here? If I pop it to $50 and get called I can pretty much just give up on most flops - even when I pair up - which is pretty much the same as if i have 23. I'm going to cont bet only in very good situations (like when the flop is low and uncoordinated and there's only 1 caller with a deep stack behind), and I get to actually exercise the power of the straddle in a big pot pf.

thoughts?
