Re: questions about pokers terms "barreling" and "squeeze"

Your posting too much, slow down. Read the forums read the stickies. This is the second time I have seen you make a thread on lingo.

You need to read a lot of old post. Micro concept of the months. Read all of them twice. Wait 6months and read them again. Read limon's post, read matt moores post. Then you should fit in after reading all that stuff.

Re: questions about pokers terms "barreling" and "squeeze"

Barreling is c-betting (continuation bet) multiple streets. Say you have AKo and raise and get a caller from the blind.
Flop is 952. You c-bet, representing a big pair, villain calls.

Turn is a Ten. If you bet again you're firing a second barrel (double-barrel shotgun). You're taking a second shot with your bluff.

If villain calls and you bet again on the river without hitting anything, you're triple-barreling. If you shoved and got called and lost, you barreled off

A squeeze is when you squeeze a player between a pre-flop raiser and yourself. So a laggy player raises MP, and you think he could have anything. A tightish player calls LP. You're on the button with 62o. You raise pretty big because you don't think the initial raiser has much, and don't think the caller has much or he would have re-raised himself. You've squeezed the LP player and picked up his dead money.

Re: questions about pokers terms "barreling" and "squeeze"

barreling - continuing to take the betting initiative on multiple streets
a) 2 barreling - betting flop & turn
b) 3 barreling - beteting flop , turn & river

usually used term when discussing a bluffing / semi bluff hand though IMO it isn't limited to that as we are also barreling when we are betting for value on multiple streets.

Squeeze - Coming over the top of a raise/bet and call.
EX - UTG raises , all folds , Button calls , fold HERO in the BB decides to SQUEEZE with XX , thus 3betting the raise and flat

This could also be a term used to describe similar action post flop.

3 way pot , hero checks , button bets , bb calls , hero c/r (check/raise) squeezes.

Mostly used to describe a speculative/junky hand preflop where we think the original raiser is weak as is the flatter and we are going to 3bet because we think we stand a good chance to take the pot down preflop or get it heads up. Though like above IMO it is not limited to a "bluff" and is still a squeeze tecnically regardless of our hand , and is just the action of 3betting a raise and call.

And to the above , why isn't the term squeeze used in cash games? I understand it may be more of a tournament play but the action of making a squeeze 3bet surely applies to any form of nlhe poker that isn't all in or fold preflop , no?

Yeah, don't try it in a cash game. It's not likely to work.

There was a hand in a WSOP where Dan Harrington (known as a very tight player) pulled off a beautiful squeeze. It's much more powerful in a tourney because that extra dead money from the PF caller is a much bigger deal.

Re: questions about pokers terms "barreling" and "squeeze"

Barreling- to bet into the pot. To 3 barrel is to bet all 3 streets

Squeeze- ex: V1 raises to $X and V2 calls. We are going to 3bet here with the intention of squeezing the original raiser out and more than likely watching the caller fold. Our thought is that the original raiser is scared of what V2 is going to do (maybe go all in) that he will fold when we know that V2 is more than likely folding and he is dead money. Also our range if we are TAG should seem tighter so we should be doing this with our entire range. Pretty much everyone on the tourney circuit knows what a squeeze play is thanks to HOH.

Re: questions about pokers terms "barreling" and "squeeze"

Barreling is when you are at a table full of fish. Similar to shooting fish in a barrel. If someone asks you what you are doing when you are playing poker at a table with a bunch of fish you say "I am barreling"

Squeezing is when you really have to go the bathroom in a live game but since you only get a few hands per hour and the action is good you have to hold it until they change decks.

Re: questions about pokers terms "barreling" and "squeeze"

Say what @ never and not being profitable to squeezing in cash games?
Now I'm not saying do it all the time, but there are definitely spots squeezing is profitable. (This is especially applicable to 1/2nl tables where player will call any raise but fold to any 3b)

3betting light is not a squeeze. A squeeze play is to get a preflop fold. It just doesn't happen in cash games.

It works in tournament play. Due to the fact that your initially playing with one buyin.

Uhh a light 3b can be a squeeze...
A middle position lag that folds to 3b a large majority of the time raises to 10 gets 2 callers and we're otb with 65. we raise to 50. This isn't a squeeze?
