Default ($24) TT in BTN vs. LAG\'s raise and cold-caller

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t30/t60
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t2320
UTG+1: t1310
MP1: t1770
MP2: t3290
CO: t1230
Hero: t1350
SB: t830
BB: t1400

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">MP1 raises to t180</font>, MP2 calls t180 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t270)</font>, CO folds, Hero?

MP1 is a slightly losing aggressive regular with 35/20 after 147 hands. No strong read on MP2, but he played pretty tight so far. Good/bad spot for squeezing?

I squeeze. 20 pfr is opening way too wide and your TT is crushing his range. Obviously you dont want to race off your chips here and he will probably call w/ AQ+ (maybe AJ, I've seen this call many times before). Anyways, you force him to call by shoving so you're not willfully getting into a race. Flat call doesn't scare me much at all, unless the guy is like a vpip under 10 and his vpip and pfr are almost identical, at that point 'd be scared of JJ/AKs which will obviously call a shove. Squeeze looks right, you can't give mp1 that much respect. Flatting forces you to hit a set or a 9 hi flop, which is never good.

I just call here and play for set at this point but I'd like to hear if other people would reraise. If you made the squeeze play it would be 500-600 or just shove? JJ I'd shove for sure.

Squeezing = pushing for sure. A reraise to any lesser amount would be really bad in this situation.

I would shove here vs lagtard opener and figuring MP2 is likely reraising alot of the hands that have us crushed.
