Looks fine to me, if I were to do anything differently, I'd bet the turn. The A is a scare card that's the perfect opportunity for a LP bluff on a draw. If V checked the river, then you would've lost value.

No need to put in a squeeze play pre flop with our hand it's best to take a flop in position. You would rue squeezing if anyone comes over the top.

About max value, lets see - villain had 122 bb before the hand started and we extracted just over half of that. That's pretty good value. I would be happy with that. Thank you very much. :tee:

Never ever squeezing pre here early. Never. Lol. I personally would've raised his flop c bet. It's a drawy board n ur hand is disguised. If he holds a premium here he's not gonna be able to lay it down so ur getting a call or a 3 bet. If he has AK or the likes, ur check back is prolly only gonna pay off if he spikes the turn n the odds are low. He could continue to barrel but I would rather try to get him in a pissing match on flop. People get so scarred that when u hit a huge hand on the flop u might scare people away w action, but u have to have a read n a plan n then extract value. It's early n the chips gained don't mean a ton, but it's agood spot to accumulate or maybe even double. U honestly got lucky that the villain was so bad he still trudged on stubbornly when the turn ace hit. That's clearly part of ur range when u call the flush draw flop or ur possibly floating in position.

Nicely played here at my end.

You did actually get the maximum value of your hand when he calls on the river.

Answering your question: Do not squeeze with medium pocket pair in a position 3+ multiway, early stage where people are so deep! And 88% time will have overcards on flop!

Preflop always call here. With stacks this deep set mining in position is the ideal move. I think squeezing here would be borderline maniacal.

Flop is fine. You don't want to let a hand like 99+ off the hook by raising.

Turn I would bet. Can't give a free card with 2 flush draws and some straight draws out there.
