    Default 99 in sb, time for a squeeze?

    if theres one thing ive learned from card runners

    limping usually means weakness in hand, i want to take this pot down now.. id ont want to have to play a flop with a pretty good hand, let me put the pressure on them now to make a decision instead of me having to make a tough one...

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG (t2027)
    UTG+1 (t2282)
    MP1 (t4060)
    MP2 (t9095)
    CO (t5160)
    Button (t1910)
    Hero (t6005)
    BB (t10886)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 9, 9.
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls t150, 1 fold, MP2 calls t150, CO calls t150, 1 fold, hero does what?

    if the blinds were bigger/stacks were shallower you could push obv, here, you CAN attempt to make a huge raise to take the pot down, but what happens when mp2 calls you?

    you are oop, deep stacked, and lots of flops suck

    with differnt stacks i would push every single time and pick up the pot, or raise, then push pretty much any flop.

    here i think the stacks are too deep to do anything but check

    I agree with TA.

    Your odds here to flop a set and win a big pot are infinite since you are in the BB. Squeezing cannot offer you higher EV than that.

    I think a better spot for a squeeze is if a LP raiser who you know plays LAG open raises, button/SB calls. You know raiser raises without a premium hand and you expect button SB would repop with a decent hand of his own. This means your odds of success are very high.

    Why would you want to squeeze OOP?

    A PP is a great hand to hold in a multi-way pot and you should prefer to just see a flop if so many limpers are already in. Just check, hope to flop that 9. If you do, it is usually gold and you will get action from atleast one of the limpers who may catch two pair / draw or top pair/top kicker.
