This isn't a squeeze. I don't like it because the 3.5x raise usually indicates sometihng that is decently strong but afraid to take a flop (mid pairs, AQ)

I think your getting called a lot here, readless this is bad and I think a fold is the most prudent option.

With a read the above could be completely invalid though.

Who are you squeezing? This just looks bad, unless villian has been stealing a lot and/or is a tight nit. Else I would fold.

this is not a squeeze play agghhhhhh

dont do this at low stakes unless you're like literally on the bubble, and then only do it sparingly. 66 is not folding here. AJ *might*.

also, post reads in op

resteal is more like it....

If you are on the bubble w about 30 BB you're in good shape. You can resteal on this guy if you have a good read by reraising to about 4500 not pushing. Threatens his whole stack w/o risking as much.

Stacks are wrong for a flat call for set value. Fold or resteal depending on read.

Raising to 4500 instead of pushing is fine, but not with the idea of folding to a push. Just go and go and push any flop.

You may have FE due to the bubble, but villain raised 3.75xBB from fairly early position. He probably has a hand he feels he has to play, but he doesn't want action, because he doesn't want to bubble. This kind of resteal would be more of less automatic against a late position loose raiser.
