Re: This is when you apply the squeeze play.
Here is a polite response to your post, Danny, so as to give you an opportunity to learn from your mistake rather than flame you:
With 100/200/25 B/A, there is 750 in the pot before the action. A 600 bet and 600 call makes the pot 1950. If you bet 1500 there is 3450 in the pot and either player has to put in 900 to win 3450, giving about 3.5-1 pot odds, so almost any two are correct to call if they don't put you on AA. If EP calls, then there is 4350 to EP+1 or nearly 5-1 pot odds. You are getting called by any two there. Your raise has probably not chased out anyone, but you have invested almost half your stack with a very marginal hand.
By pushing he made the pot over 5000 and anyone else has to put in an additional 3000ish, therefore only getting 1.6-1 pot odds. He made this play based on reads and his own image, and needs to push to make the call difficult for anyone without a premium hand.
