The proper play is to probably flat here and take a flop, but I'd be worried about someone coming along behind ya. He doesn't seem like he's going to be 3betting loose here, even as a squeeze. You always have the option to 4b but I dunno if it would end well for ya.

I'd shove. I don't like either of the other options.

i would fold here because:

1. villain doesnt have a bluff range vs 3 other players including the utg open and based on the villains stats he is pretty nitty for 6max.

2. vs that value range we are going to be way behind. I dont think he has JJ or AQ or worse often enough to shove and get it all in.

3. if we call we are putting in 20bb. There is a risk but unlikely one that someone will back raise. If they call thats no problem. I think its too much of a risk with too little of a reward. i dont think we can stack off with an overpair and 1/3 of the time an A or K will come which hit his range very hard.

I just fold now. Your hand isnt very strong. Its a marginal spot. We have invested very little so i would get out now.

squeeze takes a few k hands to come in enough to really look at it.

His squeeze % is huge, and his 3-bet % isn't 1% or something. There are very few ranges that have QQ crushed and we have 9.5BBs dead in the pot already. In short, QQ is good, I'd get it in and be pretty happy about it.

Yeah it's a shove.Even the amount villain 3bet to seems to indicate that he is aware of some poker strat.Like how many bb to squeeze to with 2 callers.

If he is squeezing light wouldn't shoving just fold out most of the range we beat and usually get called by AA/KK/QQ/AK/ maybe JJ.

Raising then re-shoving over a 3bet and one previous caller looks very strong, and i'd say QQ, AKs is the bottom of anyones range for doing this. Villain looks like a thinking player, he isn't just going to stack off with anything because he realises how strong we are.

You can't help thinking he's 3betting Kings+ or A,K here, so I I think in most cases we will be flipping. I find it tough to fold though, as his play can look like a steal purely because of all the dead money it's profitable for him to do this move with any sort of pair and much worse so you could well be ahead.

I think I just shove TBH because he can be doing this with much worse in a lot of cases. 10's10/Jacks etc are 3betting here too I think as they don't want to see a flop with 4 people..I don't think it's a losing proposition long term to shove..deffo +Ev

If he calls off with a range of QQ-AK and half the time with JJ we are going to be profitable to get it in. If he has the hands we want him to have most flops are going to be bad for him.

Pretty standard shove.
This squeeze will be a bluff a lot even from a nit, we're OOP if this goes multiway calling isn't good.
