Squeeze with KQ - Page 2 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

Well for one, having blockers reduces the likelihood that the opening villain really is at the top of his range, albeit slightly. Because he has AK/KK/QQ somewhat less often because I have some blockers, I think I get a fold from the one person I am really concerned about more often when I have blockers. Does that make sense?

Well, might've just talked myself out of it...

If V's continuing range is AA-TT, AK-AQ, then or KQo is almost identical, equity-wise, to 87o. So maybe it doesn't matter.

Yeah, but I think I would rather play 78 7 ways than KQ 7 ways which imo makes this a better spot to squeeze with KQ than 78.

unless you like the possibility of going 7 ways with aces, it's still a little short.

I dont like the squeeze bc of 2 things... Your Sizing is too small and also there are too many people in the pot to get through...

I think your in marginal spot here bc of all the callers behind... And would rather have a loose opener than a tag opener acting first.

UTG range is prolly too narrow for a squeeze here. 6 players is too many to squeeze as well.

You are getting great odds to call here multiway IF you can play well post and not lose to a dominiated hand (mu st recognize this well to play this hand OOP in a mw pot.)
