Correct use of squeeze play?

[bobcorn]

Thought I'd try using the hand converter.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP1 (t2010)
MP2 (t3460)
CO (t1430)
Button (t2230)
Hero (t1765)
BB (t1340)
UTG (t1265)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A:spade:, Q:spade:.
1 fold, MP1 raises to t300, MP2 calls t300, 2 folds, Hero raises to t1840, 1 fold, MP1 folds, MP2 folds.

Final Pot: t2590

MP1 has only raised preflop one time so far. After someone reraised him he folded and said he layed down TT. MP2 has cold-called lots of pfr's so I'm not worried about him. Is this the perfect spot for a squeeze play? If I move in here, MP1(who seems to be weak-tight) would need a premium hand to call me with MP2 left to act behind him. The only problem with this is, if I am called by MP2 I'm at best a coinflip and likely dominated. Do I have enough fold equity to make this a profitable play?

I may be wrong but I'm not sure this is technically a squeeze play.

My definition of a squeeze play is when you have a limp, then a raise and then you reraise to squeeze out the original limper (or raise, reraise, and reraise again).

I think this is simply you making a good read on both players (as being passive when played back at) and acting on it.

No, this is my understanding of a squeeze play. Raise, call. Hero raises.

Like I said I may be wrong and turns out I was.

I just reread Harrington's chapter on the squeeze play and he says that the initial raiser has to have loose raising standards. I'm wondering if the play also works when the raiser is weak-tight.

Looks like a very nice, read dependent, play.

Looks like a standard squeeze to me. The thing about the squeeze play is that you have to have some read on the first raiser to know he is capable of laying down the hand. Weak-Tight certainly qualifies as someone that will lay down a hand when pushed hard. MP2's tendency to simply cold-call is another read that says the push is a wise move.

The fold equity gives you more than enough value to push here. A-Q suited is a coin flip to underpairs and has draws to beat dominating hands. Nice play and grats on the pot.

Yup, this looks like a nice text-book example of a well read squeeze play right out of Harringtons book.

Good to see theory put into practice like that. Congratulations.
