Was I the idiot?

The villan has been squeezing from the SB or BB nearly everytime it was a limp pot! I was expecting him to do this and I reraised. Apart from thinking he was a total prick I also think my bet size was far too small!

Any comments?

Beat me to it. Ontopic, defining villain as a "total prick" is not very informative and only suggest that you have tilt issues and cannot appreciate a fact that really bad player is sitting at your table and waiting to donate his stack.

Button had just sat down and I thought he was just doing the usual oh betting from the button!

Even if I had kings or aces bikes the play would have went down the same, no?

Nek I dont think I have any tilt issues, I didn't go mad I just reloaded. I'm only asking because from my view it wouldnt have mattered what hand I had!

Then you would 3bet pre, and if BB 4bets you shove?

Edit: I assumed you defined him as a total prick before this hand went down. Its still very inaccurate description. Even great players can be total pricks, but that doesn't in any way give us information that they are good (or bad) at poker.

I was expecting him to squeeze, I'd have just called higher PP too. Maybe thats a leak lol

if you had a hand I think your bet sizing was fine to a little big not small. this move is dumb with 33. i mean your bluffing with a hand that improves like never. your c bet is ridiculously big. you mays well have shoved. if you knew he was squeezing why would you call the button raise.

I was kinda expecting him to fold... and I didnt think he's have such tripe! Tho I agree that 33 was rubbish! My large flop bet was because I knew I'd be bet into if I checked and I'd have called anyway as I thought he'd have crap!

Where did I put those L plates?!?!?!

I'd say getting out of line with unpredictable player is a leak. If you actually had AA or KK, both 3betting, or flatting + 4betting a squeeze would be profitable. Now, how profitable it exactly is depends on, in first case, how wide is villain capable of 4betting your 3bet, and in second case, what is his continuing range on flop.

Your right mate, guess this is where practice makes perfect!

You should pretty much generally be in 3b or fold mode to begin with with 33 in spots like this (usually fold at these stakes because lol at people playing loose in LP at these stakes). When in the SB, it's like especially more likely to be 3b or fold depending on how likely the BB is to squeeze.

If the BB has been defined as a class A squeezing prick, then flatting is just oh so very bad. You could always trap him with like, you know, good hands.
