    Default 5NL FR squeeze with AJo vs nit and fish?

    So I remember some guy with two a's in his IRC SN recently saying that squeezing with AJo vs a nit raise called by a fish was a good idea, so I thought I'd give it a go.

    MP1 is 9/9 over 34 and MP3 is a 54/11 fish.

    Squeeze or not? (and why please)

    No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (9 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Button ($5)
    SB ($4.83)
    BB ($4.98)
    UTG ($5)
    UTG+1 ($5.05)
    MP1 ($5.12)
    MP2 ($10.13)
    MP3 ($6.53)
    Hero (CO) ($5.36)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with J, A
    2 folds, MP1 bets $0.17, 1 fold, MP3 calls $0.17

    I dont mind it if you think MP1 will fold a good % of the time. If he is at all positionally aware, he may be raising more like 11-12% here and he prob only calls/4bets with the top 3%.
    I also like to know their fold to cbet stat. If fish is a station post flop then 3betting here may not be best.
    If he does then I like it, gets you HU vs fish with position where you can easily steal it post flop or play a nice pot w/ TP.

    No fold to cbet stat for MP1. MP3 has 71% fold to cbet (7 hands).

    And sizing? just pot it?

    If you squeeze here, daviddem, this'll be like in your test thread. You'll be making a bluff and a value-raise at the same time.

    It's true it's a bluff against MP1 and a vbet against MP3.

    A small problem here with the bluff part is that my image was probably loose at that point as I was 25/22 over the first few orbits.

    Great spot to squeeze because the nit folds a ton and the fish calls with a lot of worse hands.

    Not sure what you're worried about. He's a nit, by definition he doesn't play back without the nuts so if he raises its a super easy fold. I wouldn't expect him to get all crazy when you've only been playing with him for a few orbits and you don't have any 3b dynamic (that you mentioned itt). You also have blockers to hands he might play back at you with.

    Yes I forgot to say that, they are both very tight.
