Squeeze Plays
A squeeze play is a play that occurs pre flop. Usually it happens when there is an initial raiser, a caller (can be more than one) and then a "squeezer." These plays are designed to take the money without seeing a flop by offering low implied odds.
Player A raises, Player B calls and Player C comes over the top of both of them. This is a Squeeze Play.
NOW, You should be "Squeezing" with two types of hands. First the most obvious are your PREMIUMS (AA-1010 AK, AKs, sometimes AQs) you want to get value out of these hands and the more money you get in pre flop, the easier it is to play them.
Contrary to what STOX POKER (bad training video site) said in his recent training video you do NOT want to be Squeezing with your best hands AND very worst of hands. This is misinformation.
You want to be squeezing with your BEST HANDS and Top Tier hands that you WOULD HAVE FOLDED OTHERWISE.
Example:
Player A raises, Player B calls,
You are player C and you hold Q8s.
You CAN RAISE. The reason you are raising your top tier FOLDABLE hands is because IF you are called you still have a DECENT chance to make a hand. If you listen to Stoxpoker you will be raising with 23offsuit and be c-betting on a COMPLETE BLUFF.
So in conclusion,
Squeeze with your PREMIUMS and TOP TIER FOLDABLES. And don't overdo it, I see people trying to squeeze too much and they get called down very light.
Thank you.
