Is the squeeze play getting overused now?
Lately in online MTTs (mostly $20-$50 buyins) I'm seeing the squeeze play all the time. Whenever there is a PF raise (whether a LAG or not) and a caller - somebody in LP or in the blinds will make a substantial re-raise to try to take down the pot PF.
While this is a good play under certain circumstances - the fact that it is being overused and misapplied has made many players weary of the play and thus has prompted counter-measures like calling a PFR with AA/KK (as in this case) or calling a big-raise with less than premium hands because a re-raise after a raise and a call 'looks like a squeeze play'.
Any thoughts on this?
