    Default 50nl- squueze gets called, line check

    Villain is a reg, 24/19, 61% F3B, 19% 4B, over 500 hands. We had some history during my first round of shottaking about a month ago, but idk if he remembers taht, prolly not.

    couple of notes on him: +likes to GII w/FDs otf- canovership
    +call 2streets on 5hi w/Ahi

    CO ccer is another straightforward reg who plays like 10tables, 17/14, don't ever expect him to do anything weird, and his range isn't strong enough to call my 3b.

    Despite the MP not folding to many 3bs, I thought this was just an awesome squeeze spot with an awesome hand to do it, so I couldn't resist. I thought even he'd have to lay down most of his range here... thoughts?

    I felt like I had to cbet here coz I don't wanna stack off, which I feel I'll have to do if I take the c/c line, and if he calls me I can put him on AQ always and c/f turn.

    When this turn card hits I shovel the money in and expect to get called always obv.

    Input on all streets appreciated.

    I think you should think about this a bit more.

    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    I'll just go with boxes:

    [ ] awesome squeeze spot.
    [ ] awesome hand.
    [ ] MP will lay down most of his range
    [ ] CO will lay down most of his range

    You played it fine though.

    why won't MP lay down most of his range here?

    Its pretty relevant to state in the OP what YOUR image is and what YOUR squeezing tendencies are, to figure out if this is reasonable at all.

    MP has a low fold to 3bet - so he'll probably be calling pretty often.

    Post flop is fine. I might ck flop sometimes as well.

    your analysis seems off, here in particular: "Despite the MP not folding to many 3bs, I thought this was just an awesome squeeze spot with an awesome hand to do it, so I couldn't resist. I thought even he'd have to lay down most of his range here... thoughts?"

    But just looking at hand itself, it's fine and I like c-betting this flop because people still like to float gutters in reraised pots for some reason. I would probably lean towards c/shoving the turn to let him bluff his floats and he'll probably valuetown himself with AQ anyway.
    Family Cruise IMO

    C/R turn. As played, I think it's okay...
