NL Holdem $1(BB) Replayer
SB ($125)
BB ($105) 17/13/3B:5/H:340
UTG ($113) 20/15/F3:80/H:149
CO ($102)
Hero ($141)

Dealt to Hero A♥ K♦

UTG raises to $4, fold, Hero calls $4, fold, BB raises to $16.50, fold, Hero raises to $35, BB raises to $105 (AI), Hero calls $70.50

Smallblind was megafish 72/7 with 0 3bet and as you can see BB was so tight that I don't think the anti-squeeze tactic/balancing my button calls serves any purpose here. In retrospect I would rather have liked to 3bet and get it in vs CO while folding if BB cold 4bets.

At least I'd like to know your stats but it seems to me that 3betting pre > flatting pre, especially when sb is megafish. Your 3bet doesn't mean that the fish won't enter the pot anyway. What comes to your reaction vs. bb's possible but unlikely cold 4b, it again depends on your stats and style of play.

I was playing tight too, 18/14/3B:3.2, it's how I usually play when I start on a new limit.

Seems very unlikely that you'll ever get AK in vs worse hands when you're playing so damn tight. So, even the 4b when getting squeezed is kinda questionable imo. I'd prly flat to keep worse stuff in villain's range.

+1
But I like that you flatted UTG's open. With thís tight image he won't call many worse hands.

The flat was ok but I think I did it for the wrong reasons.
I did it to induce a squeeze but I don't think that is the best thing to do vs nits. Bear in mind, those stats are what I looked up in HEM, I'm not sure exactly what stats I had on them at the moment the hand was played.

Vs opponents with those kind of stats I agree that you cannot induce squeezes - not only is the openraiser only raising 15% and therefore not the best candidate for a squeeze, but as you say BB is a nit so he's extremely unlikely to squeeze in any case.
