Re: \"How to Missapply a Good Idea,\" or \"Wow, Good Job Applying That Id
 

This sequence reminds me of my favorite way of playing monsters QQ+ these days.

I make a standard 3x raise to begin with and then hope for a low / uncoordinated board. Assuming I hit the lowish board, I bet out 1/3 to 1/2 the pot. An amazing number of times some donkey reads this as a 'continuation bet' and comes blasting over the top all-in. Thank you very much lol.

This is at $109s, so I'm not saying MP2 has this hand at the $11s. It just reminded me of that play.

3/4 of a pot bet (not 1/2 mind you) is suspicious now why?

Fine PF, fold the flop.

MP2 is unlikely to be aware he's being squeezed, and it's one of those plays where the victim really needs to be aware of the possibility for it to work.

Isnt the above actually the opposite? If I am MP2, and I have a hand, I am more likely to call the all in when I am aware I am being squeezed. Its MP3 who is the scary villain here (not bc he happened to call the all-in but bc he called the flop bet)

It's more that MP2 won't think to be afraid of MP3 -- after all, he only called, right? For a squeeze play to work, the player being squeezed has to be aware that he should be afraid of the person yet to act after him. I don't think you can count on that in the $11s. MP2 likes his hand, and I don't think Hero's push is likely to shake him off of that, let alone MP3's call.
