Playing in a loose 1-2NL game in NYC that has 6 players. I have everyone covered with 400+. I have a very agressive player to my left. He has been consitently raising to high strange numbers. Such as 35+. I limp with j 5 on the button. So far my image is tight.

SB (230) raises to 35, BB (280) calls, I push.... Thoughts??? Should I wait to get a hand to execute this play? Is it simple suicide? Let's Discuss
Thanks in Advance

Alex, only post limit hands here & good god if you're going to make this silly play, at least do it with low suited connectors.

the squeeze play doesn't require you to push all-in unless you're in a tournament, a large raise is good.

Silly play, SB raises up to $35 with 1/2 blinds. I understand he is an idiot, but BB cold calls. He has to have a decent hand here right? That's a very big raise. Have people been cold calling his huge raises with marginal hands?

I don't like it, they're committing 1/7 of their stack preflop, they probably won't let their hands go.

You are giving your opponents too much credit for being able to think with this play. It's a loose game so even if one of them folds, you probably won't get both to fold.

BB has been cold calling several times only to fold to a big bet. That is how he has lost most of his stack. Calling then folding.

With there given stack sizes if i raise to 100 and they push i'd be locked in to call. I figure by pushing they fold their A10 KQ QJ they have. Im not too worried about SB here.
