Default Re: Re-bluff: possible squeeze-bluff

mindflyer is right, this is not even a properly executed squeeze play. A squeeze play is where you are squeezing the caller of the initial raiser in between yourself and the inital raiser.

This is a squeeze play Hero raises to 12, laggy SB raises to 35 (could mean any two), loose bb calls (perceived weakness), you PUSH. SB folds, bb folds. The thinking is if you can get the inital raiser to fold so well the caller.

All your doing in this siutation is isolating the shortstack which is what the shortstack wants as he is happy to coinflip headsup with the chance of doubling up. Thing is with JT you are quite possibly way behind a LARGE part of his range. At best you are a slight dog in a coinflip here and very rarely is the shortstack ever folding as he is committed.
