Default Re: This is when you apply the squeeze play.

One of the things that Harrington makes clear in HOH2 is that you need to have a read that your opponents are aggressive before making the squeeze play. You said you have no read on EP+1, so I think this is ill advised.

While it would be nice to have a read on EP+1, I don't think it is that critical here. What you are assuming here is that he has somewhat of a hand, but not great since he did not re-raise. Now the hero pushes, and the EP+1 guy is facing losing 3700 of his 5000 chips to what appears to be a monster that the hero is holding. If he is sitting there trapping with a big pair, that is just bad luck. In order to succeed in tourneys you cannot always be afraid that someone is trapping. You need to take risks and I cannot see a better opportunity to make a play for a pot than right here.
