Again, don't go crazy postflop as you can get value owned.
The first is a reason to fold. The second... maybe that's a reason to squeeze, but my point is that when we get called, we're OOP, lost, and with a hand that's probably dominated. So we're losing $70 a lot of the time.
And how exactly are we playing flop? Sure, not going crazy sounds great in theory, but what do we do on QT4r? We bet and he just gives up? Really? When he calls we're often behind and still have no idea where we're at. Or what if we whiff? Check / give up? There are just no good lines and we're playing bingo with a marginal hand OOP. No thanks. I just don't see a profitable line with a squeeze play here.
It's worth remembering that we have two more callers PF who are tight and passive. If that's true, they have AK and some big pairs in their flatting ranges. These types of players are the ones that shrug-call QQ on 983 or whatever boards, because they haven't been folding for the last 4 orbits to just give up with their premium pair. Sorry but I don't think squeeze is any good here. KQs maybe, but not KQo and not against 3 opponents, at least one of whom has us beat (probably more than one of them).
