About the Book
The preflop squeeze play has become a staple of today's tough No Limit Holdem games. One player opens for a raise, another cold calls, and then a third player puts in a re-raise, squeezing the original raiser to make a decision before seeing what the cold caller does.
Effectively utilizing the squeeze requires good timing and an awareness of your opponents’ preflop raising and calling ranges. Using that good timing and awareness, you can take the squeeze play and use it after the flop as well.
The postflop squeeze works just the same as its preflop counterpart. One guy bets, another calls, then you spring your trap and raise. This is a line you can reasonably take for value, so it can be a believable bluff.
In Squeeze After The Flop, Dusty Schmidt and Paul Christopher Hoppe take a look at applying the squeeze play to various postflop situations. They use 8 hand examples to explain how to apply this play in practice, and also how to extrapolate its principles and apply them to other multiway situations.
Squeeze After The Flop is Part 5 in the Critical Concepts series. It is included in the full book.
