CO ($76.40)
Hero ($54.15)
SB ($64.05)
BB ($50.80)
UTG ($35.70)
MP ($270.79)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25. BB posts a blind of 0.50$.
UTG folds, MP raise to 2$, CO calls, hero ?

preflop stats+position are enough to squeeze this. make it $8.50-$9 to go

[SnappyJoe]

It looks like a pretty good spot to squeeze cause chances are that MP raised with a marginal hand and it looks like CO calls too much.

Try squeezing it and see what happens!

I don't like sqeezing on 50NL at all.. but heck, this is a good spot I guess.

[Wolfram]

IMO, Squeezing is really not necessary at µlimit because cause it's main value (to balance your play for when you do have big hands) is mostly lost on 0-level thinkers, and your FE is much smaller vs small stakes stations.

If you want to practice for when you move up then this looks like a good spot though.

[Sigurd]

I know it isn't necessary, but I don't want to exclude certain plays, just because it is µstakes. I want to make the move that gives me the most +EV, even if that means that I have to think about stuff that is beyound what is necessary to know inorder to win.

Also, I won't be playing µstakes forever [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'd rather squeeze with air/sc's than AJ, but this spot looks ok.

Edit: I think you missed wolf's point Sigurd, however I disagree with him that the main point of squeezing is for balance, so it's ok [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Meh I almost automatically raise here...

[munkey]

I call here much more than rrz vs these type of villans, but then I call with alot hands on the BTN vs these types of players and just pretend I raised [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

i understand your thought process for pretending that you raised, but the 2 villains aren't pretending you raised . . .

i raise here
