Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $2(BB) Replayer
Hero ($295)
BB ($200)
UTG ($200)
UTG+1 ($202)
CO ($146)
BTN ($527)

Dealt to Hero 9

fold, UTG+1 raises to $7, CO calls $7, BTN calls $7, Hero......

What do people do here assuming opener is 23/18 reg who's capable of 4 bet bluffing. Hero's image is that of a reg with around a 7% 3 bet from the blinds, running at 22/17ish . Villain will obviously know hero is capable of squeezing light here.

How do CO and BTN affect whether or not you squeeze here, ie are you more likely to squeeze if they are also regs or if they are loose calling stations etc.

i would call. i really don't like squeezing with two callers and there is still a big chance that villain goes over the top.

set mining 4 way>>>squeezing (imo)

for what purpose are you squeezing? Are you trying to make him fold TT? Do you just want to flip with $14 dead money?

I call here...everytime.
Especially with your read on UTG+1, if he spazz shoves your probably going to end up folding what is probably the best hand pre and the chance of flopping a set 4 way and stacking someone.

Sometimes I would squeeze here but more often than not, I'll be taking a flop here since 99 plays very well multiway even 4 way. Plus you're in the SB(I think) so there's only one other player you have to worry about squeezing it up which decreases the likelihood. Obviously even better if you are closing the action but you can't always get what you want.

If you had j5 of clubs it's a very easy squeeze, now just call.

I prefer calling. A SQ maybe would be fine if there were only one caller but like this the best is to set mine. I think that regs sometimes have JJ+ in this position BT CO waitnig sm to SQ so they can shove over so u can stack them if u hit a set.imo

Even a 4bet bluff from the reg will be around 35% against you (you would obviously call a shove?)

I would jsut set mine this

You need to create an aggressive dynamic.

having an aggrssive dynamic would be the worst time to squeeze j5s people will back ship pps/aj+, 4bet bluff you, and flat monsters. the best time to squeeze j5s is if everyone thinks you are a huge nit

That's why you squeeze the J5 of clubs and call a shove or ship over a 4bet. so people know you are an aggressive spewtard.
