KQo, squeezed from sb 25nl ZOOM

Whether the squeeze is profitable is difficult to say. It certainly can be in the right circumstances and it would be a good exercise for you to work through some EV calculations, including how often your cbet would need to get through to make this profitable.

Re range - expect 22/18 villain to flat with TT-QQ, AQ, AK, maybe more pocket pairs if he's confident btn will come along and perceives hero or btn to be fishy or fit or fold. AA and KK would be a 4bet with btn still to act.

Thanks all, I was wondering about my sizing too.

So 3 bucks makes sense, as for the calculations how do I go about them? Im assuming I need to factor in their fold to 3b and fold to flop cbet in a 3bet pot? Hmm..

Start off by working out how often we need to be successful if we squeeze to $3 pre, then you can start to build up your equation from there to incorporate the things you mention.
