Dealt to Hero 7♠ 7♣

fold, UTG+1 raises to $6, fold, BTN calls $6, Hero ?

I'm never certain what to do in this spot.
I already squeezed UTG once in 50 hands so I was expecting quite light pushes. BTN is a reg that would fold to squeeze.
Sqz>call?

This is overthinking imo, maybe when you squeeze the third time they will start 4betting light or pushing over the squeezes, but generally people don't play back that quickly imo.

So imo yes, squeeze>call. I think generally it doesn't make too much sense to play OOP vs only regs, you can probably not even call for setvalue here because you won't stack them too often as it's gonna be a 3way pot and they will be cautious.


Do you play squeeze/fold on bb too? There are better odds to call and we can't get squeezed.
Or do you just squeeze pockets 100%? (against normal regs)

what's your calling range oop in this spot? You alw want to squeeze everything, like it's impossible to show a profit playing oop vs regs.

Yep, I usually squeeze in the BB too.

Here in the SB I don't have a callingrange, in the BB I probably don't have one either.
And yes, I believe that it is close to impossible to show a profit playing OOP vs 2 regs unless they are very bad and/or you have specific reads.

Do you flat any hands on bb vs. btn open assuming sb folds? What hands do you flat vs 100% btn minraise? vs 50% 3x?

And since i assume your flatting range in that spot is also minimal/non existent, given you don't expect to be capable of making any profit oop vs two regs w/o initiative. What's your bb/100 on bb & sb over last maybe 50k hands?

Vs 1 opponent the situation is significantly different, especially when he raises from the BU - and in this spot I indeed have a callingrange.
But I can't make a general statement about how wide it is as there are so many factors influencig this.
If f.e. the opponent just minraises the button 100% of the time and gives up a ton postflop I might call a lot of very speculative hands and just c/r more or less any flop that even remotely connects with my hand.
But then again it also depends on history and gameflow, once I did that 3 times I might call pre with the intention to only continue if I hit, or even just muck pre.

As I said HU the situation is very different.
As for my BB/100 - I have no idea as I've been playing without stats for about half a year now.
