Squezze

Hi Guys

A squeeze is a bluff made pre-flop in the form of a large raise after there has already been one raise and at least one caller. After one player raises and at least one other player cold calls, a heavy re-raise is made: it is called a squeeze.

The idea behind this move is that the open raiser will find himself squeezed between you and the cold callers not knowing how they will react. The remaining players will rarely have a hand strong enough to call with. Your attack to the dead money in the pot will frequently be successful.

Note that you need to have a strong tight table image and it makes no sense to make this move if the opposition is very loose or the initial raising player only raises a few hands, so that he will rarely fold them.

Donk Bet

Donk bet is an unexpected or risky bet made by a player who was not the aggressor in the first place, usualy into a player who was the bet aggressor.

A typical situation for a donkbet is when a player calls a raise in the first round and then bets into the raiser in the next round.

Donkbets started to be dumb moves by inexperienced players but know can also be deceptive maneouvers made to trick an opponent since they are often viewed as weak play. They are also used as blockbets. This means that a small bet is made to keep the opponent from making a large one that could put us out of the hand.

This can also be called a bet out of nowhere.

Rebuy MTT

In Rebuy MTT, should we always rebuy ? And should we always add-on ?
If you won't rebuy, play freezeouts. You must take the right attitude towards R&A MTTs, and that means being willing to rebuy some times if you are playing well and just getting unlucky.
BUT, rebuys should not be always taken. An unskilled player should not rebuy. He doubles his buy-in but does not double his chances of finishing ITM (in the money). On the other hand, the more skill a player has, the more often he should rebuy. The more chips the player has accumulated the less often he should add-on.
Always rebuying and adding on can be a mistake. Most of the time, rebuying and adding on is a good move for the skilled, well bankrolled player.
That's only my opinion, of course....
