Default Re: live 1/2 straddle squeeze?

1) I'd be squeezing big-small offsuit hands - Ax, Kx, Qx ones which won't flop a dream and would benefit from being shorterhanded and vs a predictable player. I wanna check my option on sooted aces, kings and connected cards o/s or not.

2) I think KJ is the sort of hand that will benefit either way - it will flop strong monsters multiway sometimes and you'll be glad there are 9 callers out there. It also benefits from being HU vs a straightforward player.

what it doesn't benefit from is being called by 3 players when you pop it, and not knowing where you stand postflop on a J9x 2tone flop. I much prefer checking there and hoping to stack on a KJx KKx JJx type flop.
