The raiser raised the last 3 hands, some of the AI with just 2 limpers behind. Good spot to squeeze?

I think you need a very strong read that villian is folding to a limp/re-raise very often to try this.

Against unknowns or villians without solid notes its gross.

for me this isn't a typical squeeze as you might have the best hand right now.

with limping from UTG and then pushing you are yelling "i have a medium PP", but i think that is ok - sometimes you just pick a nice pot when everyone folds and sometimes you are favourite in a race.

as you will face an overpair not very often here i think you should push.

i like this if you're known to limp/shove AA or KK, which will give us more of an opportunity to pick up the pot uncontested. i don't think this is necessarily gross, but it's not something i would do..
