Good to see you've gone back to the basics. Party 200NL is full of sharks anyway.

Could you explain this? What makes this squeeze profitable? What situations do you use them in? What reads did you have on the min-raiser and the caller?

There are not many situations i would do this (i can only think of 1 to be honest). I'm sure you could figure out my reads if you assume i'm a decent player. Have a try. I'll post the actual reads later.

-by the way it's a minraise UTG, a reraise UTG+1, and i 4-bet cold. (no caller)

Okay, here's a guess.. UTG is a donk making a weak raise, and the 3 bettor is a TAG, so the squeeze should look like AA-KK to him, while the bet will be too big for the donk to call with his weak hand.
