Squeeze 67s

I will move your hand to the hand evaluation forums.

i don't like squeezing with low scs in such tournaments... they'll call you 2 lose and you don't get 40% against callingranges!
pairs, suited ax, k10+ and hands like that perform much better!

I would not squeeze with suited connectors

I have to disagree with you tiltberger. If you are gonna shove Axs, and K10+, imo it's gonna perform much worst than 67s. What's the range of call you might find? Being really loose, is gonna be 77+ and AJ+. Against the range you wrote there, you are gonna be most of the times 80-20 and the best you can find is a flip. With 67s, most of the times you'll find a 40-60, with few times finding a 20-80.

I think that 's an interesting debate!

Since Tiltberger is on vacation I will answer it from my point of perspective:

I like the squeeze. It's a very good spot and your stack is very adequate. Your fold equity should be good enough and your hand performs quite good if you are called by a reasonable range.

Unfortunately it's a 1$ tournament. I don't play these Buyins and haven't played them in a long time. My assumptions are based on mid- to highstakes tournaments.

Therefore I guess that Tiltberger might be right with his advice. Players in micro buyin tournaments tend to gamble it up and make loose calls, even if these calls are not reasonable at all. In general Ax hands perform better against unreasonable ranges then suited connectors do. Against a reasonable range a suited connector might perform a bit better then Ax does.

Personally I would play the hand just like you played it, but I do understand, that it might be more profitable to just call in these buyin's.

Thank you for your help guys !

From my point of view, I can't call there with 67s mainly because of me being a TAG player in these tournaments but because of my stack as well ( don't exactly have a stack with which I can afford drawing for straights and flushes ).

Initially I thought the hand like this: It's the final of the tournament, nobody is playing for 2-3 hours just to blow away his whole stack with some marginal hand or a small/medium pocket pair this late and this close to the finish line ( I guess I was wrong about that one ). Adding info, everybody showed weakness by limping, so I was thinking I can squeeze there and increase my stack with 30% having extremely good fold equity ( or not ).. Nobody was really capable of a limp-raise so with me being in the late position, if the SB and BB don't call, I have a really good chance of winning it right there.

In conclusion, I understand that the play was too loose for that limits, but in the end, I am just curious what the guy was thinking? This is a good case to understand the fish play.. Was he thinking he was better than any two ( like favorite hand or something ) or he was tired and bored and he decided to push it just to watch a porn and go to bet:).. Why would anybody risk loosing the tournament with that marginal hand, calling my all in with people behind him still waiting to take their decisions?!

your post makes a lot of sense, asaban. Thank you!
