Villain in this hand is 30/11/2 over 90 hands, calls 3bet 50% of the time (SMALL sample obv and this is after this hand so it could be 1/2, i dont remember if it was zero when I did this), folds to cbet 42% of the time

BTN: $116.80
SB: $75.50
Hero (BB): $302.60
UTG: $22.35
CO: $66.90

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is BB with Q T
UTG calls $1, CO raises to $3, 1 fold, SB calls $2.50, Hero raises to $14, 1 fold, CO calls $11, 1 fold

Is it even worth it to squeeze here? I was pretty 3bet happy during this session and didnt really think this was a terrible spot but there are obv better ones

Flop: ($32.00) 5 2 J (2 players)
Hero bets $21, CO calls $21

i think cbet here is standard, but i also think that I will be called down pretty light given that my line pre looks like a squeeze. Im not planning on necessarily giving up here though because of that reason. Is that bad

Turn: ($74.00) K (2 players)
Hero bets $267.60 all in

Spew? I wasnt averse to firing another barrel here, and once i picked up the draw, i figured i could maximize some sort of fold equity, and I didnt really want to check/fold after the preflop and flop action. Is a c/f here a better line? check/call seems pretty stupid unless he is giving me direct odds and check/shove accomplishes very little since any sort of significant bet would be committing him anyways so i figured just shove.......

comments help appreciated thank you

Yeah shoving is fine, you'll have 14 outs vs. something like 88 some %.

squeezing a 30/11 semi shorty doesn't seem like a good idea.

what if UTG shoves, are you calling? Why risk that much money for a buck preflop? UTG is either shoving or folding right? than you are left OOP if UTG doesnt shove, vs a CO who may not be terrible with QTo, or it could be shove, shove and you leave 14$ on the table.


Id pot the flop as played, that extra 10$ is a decision for all his chips, I thnk that is the difference in him folding and not folding IMO.

you have no idea if that extra 10 makes any difference.

1st: Leave that table immediately, only 1 fullstack sucks, you find better tables.

2nd: Squeezing ******s with a marginal holding is not a good idea, and QT is one of the worst hands to squeeze with in general, because of the reverse implied odds.

3rd: I think the shove on the turn is fine, you definietly gained folding equity.

guy is soo short stacked that he is totally committed to this pot IMO and will call here a high % of time. so if you feel like gambling then its fine but not the best spot here IMO. but if you happen to be up against low pair you have a ton of outs atleast.

heh yeah as I made this post I kind of realized this but just neglected to mention it. The thing is that my image at that particular table was pretty tight, with only a 4% 3bet for the 90 hands i was with those guys. FWIW I was really high and sometimes fail to recognize every aspect which is obv -EV lol (me being high while playing however is still +EV imo). Thought process went "I have a tight image, he is in CO, SB is folding, sqeeeeeze". Probably not optimal.

Well yeah I'm obviously calling if UTG shoves, but I see your point. Then again though even if UTG was a competent shortstacker (which he wasnt), his normal shoving range here is probably a lot tighter making it significantly less likely so I wasn't too concerned. TBH it might have just enticed me to squeeze more since > dead money in the pot. Also, I think if CO wants to look me up, its going to happen and its pretty hard to speculate whether or not potting it would be a determining factor. If I pot and he calls then then I lose almost all of my fold equity on the turn, since, as you said, its not much of a decision for him anymore.

1 - just recently became 5-handed, and the shortstacker/SB were quite bad, and the COs stats weren't a repellent either. I have a problem with leaving tables when there are fish there, even if they aren't fullstacked

2 - Yeah I agree with you here. FWIW I wasn't planning on going to showdown but I do understand that there are more +EV spots to pull this off. I thought that I could use my tight image at that particular table to make this more profitable though. Will probably consider my cards next time too haha

1)Don't squeeze again semi-shorts OOP with when you're likely to get called.

Postflop is fine, you can't c/r given stacks and shoving maximizes your FE.

I really hate the squeeze. Not only does the Villain call 3bets lightly (us with very marginal holdings) but he's also a shorty who will look us up a lot more pf. Wait for a better spot and avoid this whole postf spew.
