Set of aces

1. It is not a set but trips. Set is when you hold AA and Axx come.
2. I would squeeze preflop. I would like to isolate vs the shortstack(fish) SB.
3. Not folding.

1. Thanks for correction, will try to keep it in mind
2. Good point. I would squeeze few days ago, but I got know, I 3bet too much, so I´m working on reducing it. That´s probably why I didn´t squeeze there.
3. Thanks for reaction

4. I would play with 100 bb's.

We can do both, call and squeeze preflop. Postfop is fine imo.

I do play with 100BB, but don´t have automatic re-buy switched on. I´m just too scared I would loose the view of how much I already lost, so I re-buy manualy, usually when I´m around 80BB. It´s just my bad habbit, like my brain was damaged

3b and squeeze are 2 different things and stats. Squeeze should be higher than 3b.

But most of the time they are same, aren´t they? Usually when I squeeze pre-flop it´s also 3bet.

technically it is, but still the difference is that there is a caller, and this caller in most cases is with weaker range.

Yes, HM2 and PT4 distinguish 3bet and squeeze so don't worry about that part. Your squeeze range should be wider as some hands you'd normally fold you squeeze here.

As played, I am definitely not folding here.

Yeah, I get your point. As I said, I just recently discovered I was 3 betting too much, which was making me not getting value I could, so I´ve reduced 3 betting. When I say recently, it´s like 5 days ago. Why am I saying this? I think it will take me some time to spot the right spots where to squeeze, where not to 3bet etc. So, to partly solve the issue I just lowered the 3 betting generally and with experience I will step by step add it back to my game.

A squeeze is a 3-bet (if it is a third raise), whatever it is called in tracking software.

Squeezing from late position is fine. Naturally always raise it up for value. But squeezing with hands that do better calling is a mistake. Squeezing is not a self-purpose. Apart from value hands, suitable hands to squeeze in position with are those hands just barely not worth a call.

Squeezing OOP is fine to, but overdone in general and highly exploitable when overdone.

That said, this hand should be squeezed/raised/3-bet/whatever you call it preflop.
