sick table selection skills.

why are we squeezing the fish with such a nice hand? b/c or c/shove and ride the variance machine i guess. b/c >>>> c/shove since they're so passive

i agree w/ calling pre, these donkeys wont fold anyway an TJ is difficuilt to play OOP in a mw 3bet pot.

sick spot though..id check and see what the other guys do, a free card wont hurt you anyway

Call pre. Shove as played. CO will call you with a 9 or A high anyway, you have great equity with overlay. Bottom line, you can not be in bad shape here. Its too late to think about you hand value. Now your main concern is to score as many aggro-******ed brownie points as you can. If you squeeze, hit a miracle flop to a nut draw where all your outs are clean and c/f - your an atm.

the only big fish at the table is CO.
utg is actually a fairly competent LAG, the squeeze after a raise and 2 callers should look uber strong to him.

given my tightish image i felt squeezing would be more profitable than seeing a flop, as i should take it down a v.large % of the time. if i was playing loose i would definetly flat pf.

i think co/btn fold a lot of the time pf, but after BB cold calls, theyre pbb just thinking "oddz!!"

I would just call preflop. Shove the flop, as u have little more than a pot size bet and if they fold ever its good.

not really a big fan of preflop at all given how loose all these donkeys are but w/e

now that ur here I'd just open shove and expect to take it down often enough and if u end up getting called u still have like 30% equity. plus it will be great for ur image whether u win or lose
