$25NL6max: Quack! I'm getting squeezed

[Askilus]

BB LOVES to squeeze, I've seen him doing it three or four times (perhaps more) in about 180 hands. He's really lag, 50/32/3.18 and he's not very good at it. Other villian is 40/7/1.7 over 40 hands but I have no "manual" read on him.

How big can we call here?

UTG calls, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $1</font>, CO folds, Hero calls, SB folds, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $X dollars</font>, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls.

Give me, roughly, the X for which my PF action was correct [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks!

i tend to fold preflop here with an utg raiser, and when he calls the bb re-raise, i fold for sure.. depends really

I like the novelty of the question! I'll say X&lt;=4, though I'm not too certain. Your read on Villain cuts both ways: his badness means you want to play a big pot in position with him, but his aggression means that you're unlikely to draw for cheap.

I think reads on postflop play help too. Assuming UTG+1 is out of the picture, is BB the kind of Villain you're willing to felt TPWK with (i.e., a maniac)?

[Askilus]

I'm afraid I don't have good postflop reads on him. And I'm also aware that after 180 I should at least have something. My feeling for him though is that I probably stand a good chance to get payed it I hit, but also that I might not be able to draw cheap if I want to, as you said.

Would I felt TPWK - good question [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'd probably fold. This hand is more profitable in a multiway limped pot.

I can live with X=3, where we pay 2 and have like 11X for implied odds. If he's really squeezing light, your implied odds are not that good, but raising out of the blinds 4 times out of 180 hands does not equal squeezing light in my mind. I expect he has a real hand, and that my implied odds are good.

When X=4, we're paying 3, stacks are 7X that, even a PP has to fold.

this is kinda whacked but if u have a great read than pushing pf is pretty good here.

it would be my ideal choice if u had an ace.

i'm not sure if I like it given that UTG+1 called so...maybe 2.5 -3.
