You are on the button with complete trash, say 32o. A player open-raises from Hijack position. Cutoff calls, button folds, small blind folds. You consider squeezing with your trash hand. How high of a fold-to-3bet do you want the open-raiser to have before you choose to make this play? Also, IF you just so happen to have enough time to look up his fold-to-3bet from middle position, how high would you want that to be before you choose to make this play?

Similar situation. Button opens, small blind calls, you are in big blind with trash. How high of a fold-vs-resteal must the button have before you consider squeezing with your trash hand?

Do math, find out the breakeven point between your risk/reward and how often they'd have to fold for it to be profitable.

Wow what is with the mods and their constant leveling?

The real answer is look at their avatar and try to read their soul. If they have AA fold if they have a hand they're going to fold (or you are also a good flop reader and they have AA but you are going to flop trips) then squeeze. EZ game.
