Why does this looks like a good squeeze spot? I want you to think about certain factors of doing a profitable squeeze-shove :)

Ok, I think this looks like a profitable spot because:

1. Original raising Villain is raising from mp so his presumed range is wider than in ep.
2. His stats - on v small sample - suggest certain looseness;
3. Our own table image is very solid but we can probably discount this as OR likely has no hands or experience of us
4. The middle player - PFR : The higher the pre-flop raise percentage, the more profitable the squeeze. Rocks could decide to not 3-bet a hand like AK or even QQ. (In this case the caller is loose pf but with a tight pre-flop raise percentage which perhaps speaks against a squeeze);

Finally, from article: "Solid hands: AQ, AJs/ATs, KQs : When I squeeze with these hands, it is usually against a loose CO or BU open-raiser and a loose caller with a high PFR, since I can trust my hand is strong in these cases"; also:
"This might be obvious, but the most important condition for a squeeze play to work is that your opponents must be capable of folding. Their ranges, especially the open raiser's should be wide enough for them to throw away their hand often enough without any problem."

Well, the fact is that if that stats are accurate this is a reasonable spot for a squeeze but we don't have that many hands to be sure. I think we can be reasonable happy that the original raiser can throw his hand away but the middle player is not so certain as his pfr is on the low side which means his call doesn't necessarily indicate a weak hand.

So, all in all I say that this does look like an ok spot but it's kind of marginal because of limited info and I'd say we need quite a lot of fe here.

What do you think now?

Well thanks guys - but I need to hear from Gerv because he made me read the whole article to justify my original comment that it was a good squeeze spot ...
