very clear call

I cannot emphasize how bad squeezing is. This hand plays pretty well in a single raised pot (set-mine or sometimes you have some tiny bit of SD value) and it completely sucks in a 3b pot (being able to flop good draws to push or barrel is great, having high cards to flop strong 1pairs is great, low pairs suck)

The only good thing abt squeezing is the potential to isolate the fish. But 44 isn't a good hand to do it with.

1. Reg must fold a lot
2. Fish must call a lot
3. He must either pay you off all the time when you hit
4. Or he has to fold a ton to cbets

I think it's rare that you have everything working in your favour.
