PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.com

Hero (SB) ($49.50)
BB ($56.73) (28/28, 3bet 11 on 19 hands. cbet 100%, postflop aggr 4
UTG ($30.58)
MP ($50)
Button ($110.94)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 7, 7
2 folds, Button raises to $1.25, Hero calls $1, BB raises to $6.15, 1 fold, Hero raises to $14, BB raises to $56.73 (All-In), Hero calls $35.50 (All-In)

I call , planning for BB to Squeeze so I can 4bet him to fold.
Now, as planned he squeezes, I put in my 4bet and he shoves.That was not the plan. The plan was of course that he would give up the squeeze and fold. Now I have seen to many videos that If I 4betbluf and gets shoved I basically can't fold my pocket pairs since I have good enough equity to call so that is what I do.
I also think he has some A2-5 or AK suited of off. I don't think he has JJ+ and against his strongest range AK I'm slight ahead with my 77.

Is this a bad call?
Or
Is it actually pretty good play.?

Flop: ($100.25) Q, K, 8 (2 players, 2 all-in)

Turn: ($100.25) 9 (2 players, 2 all-in)

River: ($100.25) 9 (2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $100.25 | Rake: $2.50

Results below:

Spoiler

Hero had 7, 7 (two pair, nines and sevens).
BB had A, K (two pair, Kings and nines).
Outcome: BB won $97.75

Hi,

Players would not give you usually enough credit for flatting QQ+ on the SB, so I think they are going with 88+, AQ+ (sometimes with 66+ AJ+, KQ)

Against tighter range you have 34% equity, against wider range 42% equity.
Unless player is crazy and really shoves his A2s-A5s hands I would not take 4-bet/call line pre-flop.
If you don´t want to see flop, then direct shove is likely better, since that gives you maximum fold equity and likely he is not going to call his KQ, AJ type hands. But also pre-flop call should be fine and then calling him down on low boards

best regards,

@Tomaloc. Og course he can have JJ+ , I just had a really strong gutfeeling he didn't.

@Kaitz.
Thanks for the feedback.
Basically a bad move then, but maybe if I Shoved as 4bet bluff you would have liked it better? Is that correct.?

He's got 19 hands on the villain,it has absolutely no relevance whatsoever what his BB squeeze % is. Read the actual thread before trying to look like a poker guru.

I didnt see there was only 19 hands, and when you say "there is no relevance" I find that to be funny since our hand is 77 and the OP said he was planning on 4bet vs a squeeze. As far as we know the squeezer could be a nit with 2.5% 3bet.
