I shove this with ridiculous frequency
(unless SB knows that) |

Re: Button raises, SB calls, Q9s in BB
this spot is pretty good for squeezing light but i wouldnt automatically. if sb is a good player (im guessing hes not since the coldcall from the sb is usually pretty bad) i think hes calling us about 90% of the time since he will realize its a good spot for a squeeze and any hands he coldcalled with will have good enough equity vs our wide range. id tend to squeeze here a lot more often vs bad players.

Isn't small blind aware of your agro tendencies and calling with AA here?
I fold this with two interested parties. |

Any reads on SB? Isn't that the most important part of this problem?

Re: Button raises, SB calls, Q9s in BB
This is really read dependant. I rarely ever squeeze here though because it's so obvious and people never fold to squeezes these days. But depending on your table image and read on the button/SB I definitely pull the trigger sometimes. In particular you need some read the small blind is the type to call a raise there too often instead of reraising, otherwise I'm really worried he has a monster.

He has a big stack and the raise wasn't too big, so I'm pretty sure a shove will get him out. The Button is concerning and reads on him are important IMO. How often is the button raising when it's folded around? How active on the CO? If the button has been raising from LP, how much? If the button has been quite from LP I insta-fold. If the button has been making a standard 3x+bb raise from LP, I insta fold. IMO, lots of conditions have to be close to perfect to risk tournment life on a shove here. |
