do you know why squeezing with lower pocket pairs is worse? I can tell you if you want.

we have a hand with value aka 66. We want to maintain this value i.e. we don't want to turn our hand into a bluff.

calling 66>squeezing because the money we make from flopping sets/oesds are > then the amount of times we make money off squeezing.

when we squeeze with 99 we are squeezing for value. we are ahead of most villains calling range. This is why squeezing with 99 is better than squeezing with 66. we are squeezing for totally different reasons. v

VALUE OF 99>BLUFF OF 66.

its illogical to turn a hand WITH VALUE into a bluff. even more so when the implied value of our hand is >than the amount of money we gain from a successful squeeze.

I'm not sure I follow this completely. Would you be so kind to make it a little more clear?

Obviously with 99 we protect and get (more) value preflop with a squeeze. But he rest is kinda fuzzy imo [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
