the squeeze obviously wants to take it down pre most of the time, flop a good draw and get an excellent price this deep. horrible turn plan to check fold but when it checks through how to play this river?

    On the flop, it's gonna be AK and sets alot imo which means on the turn you could be drawing dead already.

    Played think I think... assuming you wanna squeeze with 34s, what was your thinking behind this, do you think they will fold often? Do they C/F alot of flops?

    Have to bet that flop after the action pre, and can't argue with a call of the min-raise when you have a GS and FD, although might be worried abuot the other player to act behind me, cos if he raises/shoves, you have to fold imo and you've thrown away that extra £4.50.

    Once the K pairs on the turn, just shut down, C/F turn, C/F river.

    once you've flopped this good with a hand this bad, i'd just be busy touching myself. more chance of timing out because my hands are busy and im whooping aloud rather than choosing not to bet the river.

    would choose different hands to sq with pre. would just fold this hand myself unless I was super tilted.

    i think the pre flop raise takes down the pot without seeing the flop often enough to be profitable and the purpose of it was to punish the btn overcall with likely a weakish holding for which any 2 cards can be used but i prefer to bet low suited connectors as they have so little value oop but actually have decent quity against hands like 99 through jj which is a big part of of the 3bet flatting range, and against that range this is also a great flop to cbet on and rep aa/kk/ak. was definitely not tilt based or standard more experimental but if this is bad reasoning so be it. this turn would shut me down but when it checks back then check folding seems too weak when hitting this river. meh i guess just fold pre.

    if they call our sq with 77 we have dem unders

    it'd be nice to at least have one overcard sometimes! so we have some chance of winning without bluffing occasionally!
