Re: Squeeze play situation
Unlike others, I like the play (it is not considered a squeeze play). There is 525 in the pot and you have 1580. Against AKo, you lose an average of 470. Taking the pot is huge and your hand is pretty strong against limpers.
It is not that likely either limper or blind has AT or 99 or better. You could easily get called by a hand you are ahead of.
The fact that it is a $10 tournament may make for looser calls, but any hand that is ahead of you will probably call anyway and be a 7-3 favorite, except for AA. The 2nd limper may make a pot odds call if no one else calls, but you are probably ahead plus pot odds.
I assume there was a lot of limping at this stage of a $10 tournament, so there is no reason to believe anyone was trapping. You just had the bad luck to run into someone playing AK for a limpraise.
