PokerStars - $0.05 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 108.4 BB (VPIP: 14.71, PFR: 8.82, 3Bet Preflop: 5.88, Hands: 34)
Hero (SB): 105.2 BB
BB: 124.8 BB (VPIP: 38.89, PFR: 33.33, 3Bet Preflop: 12.50, Hands: 19)
UTG: 110.4 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 3)
MP: 169.4 BB (VPIP: 20.13, PFR: 14.29, 3Bet Preflop: 12.31, Hands: 156)
CO: 106.2 BB (VPIP: 21.49, PFR: 14.88, 3Bet Preflop: 7.27, Hands: 125)

Hero posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has T♥ J♥

fold, MP raises to 3 BB, fold, BTN calls 3 BB, Hero raises to 12 BB, fold, MP raises to 169.4 BB and is all-in, fold, fold,

Would you choose the same and squeeze in this spot?
I think call OOP in MWP is no an option.

OR - RFI MP 16%, ft3b 100% (4/4).

I would call this pre. I would squeeze better and worse hands, this falls in between. Suited connectors benefit from higher stack to pot ratio and we don't want to play a big pot with this hand. If we squeeze and hit T or J, it is probably not good. We want to hit a good draw and keep on calling when we get very good odds.

For me it is absolutely not a squeeze hand. I would rather squeeze Axs e.g. ATs.

Do you think flatting pre with JTs is plusEV?

According to w34z3l's ranges prepared for microstakes, JTs isn't a call on SB vs MP. He suggests to 3-bet this hand.
This is a little bit different situations because of through caller, but I'm still not convinced.
When I call, BB has perfect odds to call and I am fully dominated in 4-way OOP. If he doesn't call, he might have a really nice spot to squeeze. And even if BB folds, I don't really like playing this hand OOP i MWP.

When I squeeze, I often win the pot now.
If MP calls, I still have a decent equity vs his 3-bet calling range.

       Equity  Wygrana  Podział
MP2    37.20%   36.80%    0.40% { JTs }
MP3    62.80%   62.39%    0.40% { QQ-88, AJs+, KQs, AJo+ }

But I see that nobody would squeeze so maybe it is just a call/fold choice?

As we have reached this decisuon in another hand, this is a call preflop.

There isn't a fold here. Just call. Our hand is made for mw pots.

What about lower SC? Like T9s, 98s?
What range would you suggest to squeeze in this spot? AJ+, JJ+ and thats it?

No, you can squeeze suited one-gappers.

Yes, I do believe this is a +EV call.

@mistralx

Squeezing is very much different than 3betting when there is only MP and us. Our bluff squeeze range should be close to trash, like those suited one gappers nitrol mentioned. You can grind yourself a gold status and watch w34z3l's video on squeezing.

You misunderstand the nature of this hand ( J♥:T♥: ). You want BB to call. If he squeezes, well, there goes another 2.5 bb down the drain, but you know, it could be worse. Suited connectors love cheap multiway pots if you treat them right. They really hate big heads up pots OOP.
