Exactly what are you asking us here Alex? Is Squeezing bad? Is Squeezing the best play? What hands should I call pre-flop? Threads lost its track after lots of good points from pleno. Could be a good discussion given your experience on the french sites, i) What's the WORST hands you'll call pre-flop, ii) What's the BEST hand you'll fold and iii) What makes up your "Value" 3betting range?
I think squeezing pre-flop is pretty bad here, I don't really see why we would need to squeeze here ever with this hand, and how this can be one of the worst hands you'd call with, if that's the case I think you're folding too much here. (I don't know these players or this site, that might be wrong)
You're getting 6-1 and you're against two "splashy" guys on winamax, (even though the opener's 1864 sizing looks a bit reggy) seems like a delightful spot to just call with LOADS of hands, K9s would be certainly above the bottom of that range. All squeezing really achieves is making the pot big and messy no? I think as well in a spot like this where your image is very likely to be pretty lively (looking at your stats + knowing you lol) you can just call super wide for value and have a really strong 3betting range. With your image + it being a tournament where no-one folds your 3betting range here will be percieved to have a chunk of air in it, or maybe you're just against 2 players who don't care/notice. If you do in fact ever have a spot where you don't need any bluffs at all to run a profitable strategy I think it's getting a bit spewy to start 3betting light, speshly when you're risking a fair bit of equity from just calling with the K9s.
Flop has to be a c/f, smashes into both ranges like a train putting any more chips in postflop seems like a disaster to me.
im talking specifically about flop, you guys are adamant its a clear c/f and im pretty happy with getting some value.
pre is much of a muchness i think, stylistic really.
