SQZ as a bluff IP , when I get called I give up on the hand . At least thats what I told to my self lol .
Check the flop and villain checks again on the turn , can we try to stab here ?

With your x on flop you told him you do not like your hand. Otherwise you would've bet.
I think on turn he will not fold anything and we do not need to turn our +EV preflop move into -EV postflop move.
But I may be wrong.

I would have folded preflop after a tight guy opens and also tight one calls.

Hand samples are mediocre.

Yes hand samples are small, but if we don't know the opponent so well, why are we 3betting preflop?

I made that 3bet /sqz as a bluff as I said, I have A blocker so I guess pre is resonable .

I think that pre flop sqz with A4o vs tight utg opener and a caller is far from reasonable. I would fold this pre. When you play it like this I think it would be good to cbet on the flop. When you don't cbet flop and decide to do it OTT you have to bet river too because villain will not fold anything to your turn bet after flop check when that 5c doesn't change anything.

I think that there are enough hands in UTG opening range and in CO calling range that will fold on a squeeze. This squeeze is not bad but...

I would say the squeeze is not terrible but still kind of bad. It is a complete bluff and we don't have any info how much they fold to 3bets? If either of them calls we are most likely crushed. I think it would be better if our hand was suited.

We know, we do this as a bluff only. So we hope they fold preflop. POstflop we do not invest.

I know you know that it is a bluff only but I think it is a bad bluff when there is tight utg opener and tight co caller and our hand is shit.

It will be a bad bluff if it is suited, and you start investing postflop and trying some fancy things.

I'm not saying that we have to do something fancy post flop. But with suited hand we have at least a little bit better chance to hit something if and when we get called.

The difference is not that big. The good of our hand is that if they do not fold preflop we can easily let it go.

Does this make A4o a good bluff? Is K7o as good? Should we start squeezing 100%?

I am not squeezing it either. But when I thought, it is not so bad - you squeeze, if they fold - you win, if they don't - you do not invest more.
