Default flop squeeze

both players are tags. button has a pretty wide range. the blind probably doesn't have an ace. my line is pretty weird and might look FOS, but it's still strong looking i think

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $2/$4 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $407.90
BB: $514.00
Hero (UTG): $404.00
CO: $86.00
BTN: $420.40

Preflop: Hero is dealt 9 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5 Players)
<font color="red">Hero raises to $14.00</font>, CO folds, <font color="red">BTN raises to $48.00</font>, SB calls $46.00, BB folds, Hero calls $34.00

Flop: ($148) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J A (3 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $105.00</font>

Yea, I agree, and while the Button will have AQ/AK/set some of the time, I think he folds anything worse, and SB almost never has anything he can continue with except JJ. I think you'll get 2 folds here more than 50% of the time here so this is definately fine and +EV IMO.

I hate it. Both of them could have a set here and AK definitely isnīt folding. Alot of these guys are more likely to make loose calls than big folds, so someone might decide to hero call you with KK too.
Also, you probably donīt play a set like this.

you realize {AK, sets} is a tiny range right.

i think the lightest i get looked up by is maybe KK, and i could see the button folding AJ- with the sb behind him. if that's the case i think they fold more than enough for it to be +EV

These opportunties come up a lot, I would wait for a gutshot at least.

Your line does look extremely strong if you follow up, and I would fold AQ and maybe AK to a second barrel if I'd never seen you do this before. However, I don't think firing a second barrel if you get called is advisable.

normally i dont think i like it without the second barrel locked and loaded, and this isnt really a spot you can comfortably do that. seems like any ace will probably freeze up and call.

however, i think you're right that SB rarely has an ace, so if the button's range lacks one half of the time or thereabouts, you're good to go. you tricky devil.
