There are many situations in which we can make profit in the long run with counter-trivial counters. The best known methodology is the Squeeze Play which occurs in certain situations. But be careful to balance well: even your opponents know this technique and the related countermeasures
The preflop dynamics are certainly the most studied: the type of player often depends on how we behave before the first common cards. At the level of strategy you cannot fail to know the Squeeze Play. Let’s see what it is and how it is implemented
Pre-Flop and positions action
–
There are various reasons to relaunch, call or counter-ruling in the preflop. We always consider all the variables: image at the table, size and location. Obviously, knowing the post-Flop level of our opponents is equally important since we often want to represent strength before the top three common cards, only to then not know what to do especially in the presence of connected board or Scary Cards. We know the same how important it is to play in position is not a secret and therefore even our opponents could interpret our relaunch (or counter-revs) as a mix of strength or positional bluff. However, there are moments in which there is so much “Dead Money“That is players who have put chips on the plate” waiting “to understand what the flop can give. This kind of play can be” swept away “by attacking a little
Squeeze Play: What is and how do you do
–
There A necessary condition to implement a Squeeze Play is that before our turn there was a raise and at least one call. Before making action, therefore, we already know that there would theoretically there would be at least two players to see the flop. Let’s dwell for a moment on the action of the second player, what he calls: the first relaunches and can really have everything. Why is the second limited to the call without counteratlass? The reasons are manifold and we can also add almost all justifiable. We increase those present: Rasie from UTG+1, Cutoff and button call call. Someone is probably going fishing for a favorable flop. Why give it? Why don’t we place a nice re-raise (i.e. a 3-bet) to remove or reduce competition as a large darkness? By placing the 3-Bet we made a Squeeze Play out of position. The same thing could have been button: Raise, Call and Squeeze this time in position. The first player could be the most problematic: without a decent hand, however, he risks pulling a third player in the middle, which is not always favorable. The other two, on the other hand, should have rather marginal hands. Calling a 3-Bet is perhaps not in their ropes. Result? We frightened a lot and we won a preflop dish without major problems
