when u squeeze u hold the card horizontally to the table and block out the number/letter in the top corner with ur thumb. the only thing u see as u bend the top (i.e. side) of the card are the pips.

now if u have a ten, u won't have to wait very long to work it out because you'll have 4 big pips staring at u. it could also be a 8/9 so wat ppl do at this point is release the thumb to see whether it is a 8, 9 or T rather than kp squeezing (try squeezing a card horizontally. it doesn't bend very nicely after 1/3 of the way down).

now if u had an ace, deuce or trey and u squeezed, u'd see nothing to begin with. just plain white cardboard. this is the whole reason ppl squeeze. it's just so damn exciting! lolz. so neway now u no u might have an ace and so u squeeze slightly more until u see 3, 2 or 1 symbols in the middle. what negreanu is saying is that if u see them squeeze lots of the card then they got A,2 or 3 whereas if they squeeze a little it's more likely to be T/9/8 etc. that's my interpration at least
