Defend vs squeeze.

I’m no cash gamer, but I wouldn’t call a squeeze at all OOP with the range you mention with a stack of 100bb deep. You need to invest way too much to call for set value alone, because you will invest way more than 10% of your remaining stack.

Hopefully the cash gamers will find your thread as well now.

Your range is very vulnerable to squeezes because you simply have to fold a big part of it. I am 3-betting many of the hands you flat with and flat with some hands that can stand a squeeze.

@SDK, the way he described it, he is in the button, so it would be a call IP
@danwan when the cutoff calls, you can obviously call a squeeze wider. When cutoff folds, I don't like to call too many hands being 100bb deep, although we are in position. I prefer 4betting or folding and only in some rare cases, calling when I know villain squeezes too wide and has some leaks in his post flop game.

You need to be able to back yourself to move people off better hands postflop often in 3bet pots if you are going to call a 4.5x squeeze with 100BB deep stacks.

If you can't, then don't. I prefer not to as I prefer not to play marginal spots in 3bet pots; I don't like the variance. I'm sure it costs me a small winrate in a pure hand by hand sense, but I KNOW it saves me a large lossrate in tilt caused by variance.

Yohan is spot on in that you should turn some of your flatting range into bluffs and turn some of your 3bet value range into calls. For example, JTs should 3bet, but JJ could flat. JJ can stand a squeeze sometimes against the right villains.
