BTN: $10.89 (108.9 bb)
SB: $23.57 (235.7 bb)
Hero (BB): $10.32 (103.2 bb)
UTG: $8.89 (88.9 bb)
MP: $10.05 (100.5 bb)
CO: $17.07 (170.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A 3
UTG calls $0.10, 2 folds, BTN raises to $0.40, SB calls $0.35, Hero squeeze?

both villains are unknowns. what do you think a decent squeeze range would be here? i have 2 ranges that i might consider squeezing with...

1) JJ+,AQs+,A8s-A2s,KTs-K9s,QTs,JTs,T9s,98s,AQo+,ATo,KJo
polarised, pretty much looks similar to a 3betting range that i might use. maybe i'll call a little wider than what is implied with this range but just an idea.

2) 99+, A9s+, KTs+, QJs, ATo+, KJo+
depolarised and has a ton of blockers in it to hands that could 4bet and hands that could flat IP like JJ/TT

here a consideration is BU's opening size because it suggests he is weaker. maybe he's read some strategy articles and doesnt adjust his sizing for positions, or maybe he's just a fish. or maybe he thinks he can open bigger with his value hands... i'm not sure what it means but maybe it's a bad spot to squeeze simply because of that. but at the same time there's dead money.... so i'm a little unsure about this spot and interested to get a second opinion. ty

I'll go with range 2 maybe slightly tighter. Don't oout level yourself. Bigger raise sizes means strength and smaller sizes is weak so this is stronger than usual.
