    Default Squeeze play here?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter

    saw flop|saw showdown

    Hero (t1680)
    MP3 (t1580)
    CO (t1280)
    Button (t1970)
    SB (t730)
    BB (t910)
    UTG (t740)
    UTG+1 (t3390)
    MP1 (t1220)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with , .
    3 folds, Hero raises to t90, MP3 raises to t270, CO calls t270, 3 folds, Hero calls t180.

    It folded to me so I put in a opening raise, MP3 is a pretty crazy player and his raise didnt worry me, but CO was a fairly solid player and his call somewhat worried me. But he also knew how crazy MP3 was. Should I have pushed here? I know MP3 would've laid it down and mabye 30-40% call from CO where I'm likely a dog, but I had a tight image.

    Flop: (t855) , , (3 players)
    Hero checks, MP3 bets t1310 (All-In), CO calls t1010 (All-In), Hero folds.

    Also here, I was pretty sure I was ahead of MP3 but the CO's call worried me. But I'm being offered great odds..

    Turn: (t3175) (2 players, 2 all-in)

    River: (t3175) (2 players, 2 all-in)

    Final Pot: t3175


    EDIT : 1100/1500 left in MTT, Avg stack : 2000ish

    3-1 with only two overcards aren't really great odds. If you're behind you have 6 outs at best , and you're very unlikely to be ahead with the bet and call.

    Preflop, you could try to make that move. It may work... but you need both players to fold (a call is a disaster for you). If MP3 is very aggressive but GOOD he may fold... but a lot of maniacs will call down with anything since they can't get away from their bluffs. Then on to CO... CO was playing against a maniac, and a lot of people trap against maniacs. There's a decent chance he has a monster. I wouldn't try the squeeze here, and I would have just folded to the raise (too easy to get into a situation where you're paying off when you're way behind, and too hard to get paid if you're actually ahead).
    -You may not know this, but poker is a game of incomplete information.

    Preflop I don't mind the raise, but I fold to the reraise/call. You are out of position with an easily dominated hand. More times than not this is going to get you in trouble. Going all in is an option, but this early in an MTT you will be called quite often. Fold preflop.
