Squeeze Play questions

[checkoutndb]

I must remember that in small buy in tourneys most of the time (I'd say 90%) the players are not doing a squeeze play. They have a monster in those situations where in a bigger tourney the likelihood is that a squeeze play is being attempted.

Now that i am trying to play some bigger tourneys (lets say $100+) how often do you think (in general- I know it depends on the table, oppts, etc) players in squeeze play situations are actually doing a squeeze play. My guess: closer to 33%.

honestly i would say its not even that high in big tournies really youll only find them truely executed very late in tournies and are very often uneffective even at the higher levels because the players simply dont have enough information to sucessfully pull it off. First off you need to build a tight persona then you need to find someone who is being overly aggressive, but isnt a donk who will just call the squeeze with marginal cards cause he thinks hes pot commited when hes not. i would keep it in the back of your mind deep in high limit tournies, wouldnt even bother with it in cheap buy ins. Hey and if the player really pulls it off correctly theres pretty much nothing you can do, your not gonna put all those chips in with a marginal or even a pretty good hand even if you think the guy has like a 64 hes still probably 35-40% to win the hand depending on your cards obv over pair and u have him in a lot worse shape.

I just want to make sure im thinking of the same squeeze play as you are. You are talking about someone coming out with an intial raise with a caller then someone going over the top on the raise because he believes the other 2 to be weak thats what i always thought a squeeze play was i could be wrong tho.
