I mean... what is your flatting range pre flop? I am honestly mindboggled you think calling is losing money pre.

Calling is fine. Squeezing can be ok in a vacuum but not very good game plan wise esp. vs a competent CO.

I dont mind the squeeze. As played, as Bilbo said, you cant fold, so you may as well jam.

Were the positions reversed I wouldn't like the squeeze, as you will be playing 3 way oop almost all of the time, but given this setup I think it is fine.

Don't like 3betting unless the fish folds a lot to cbets. I'd rather 3bet hands like AT, KT, and QJ that can make strong pairs.

I prefer to just flat preflop because this is the perfect hand to do so in this situation. You have position on a fish with a hand that plays well multiway and against a reg who has a pretty wide range since he opened in the co (he won't have a hand enough of the time to play back at us and the fish will make him play straight forward). Just don't play fit or fold post flop. There will be a lot of flops where you can either bluff lead or c/r.

However, I want to say that I really like 3betting if the fish has a fold to cbet of around 60%.

i agree with calling preflop being the way to go.

a squeeze is ok-ish, as you have position on the fish but i'd rather choose a hand that can flop a good top pair (that we can then value bet or pot-control in position against the fish). AT, KT, K8s and stuff like that.

As played shove (bilbos reply sums it up perfectly)

Okay, thanks for replies. Maybe I should review my squeeze policy.
I shipped, CO showed AA, SB showed KQdd, giving me less than 10% equity on the turn. So I was second-guessing.

it has to be a profitable pre call if you have any decent post flop game. as played just a massive setup post flop.
