Squeeze in PLO

A 3-bet made after one player has opened and at least one other has called — punishing wide callers by turning their passive equity into folds.

What it means at the table

A squeeze is a 3-bet made after one player opens and at least one other player calls.

Why it matters

Squeezing attacks dead money and forces callers with capped ranges to either fold or continue in a tougher SPR.

Decision checkpoint

Ask this before money goes in

Table question

Will the squeeze isolate weak ranges, or bloat the pot against hands that continue well?

Rule of thumb

Squeeze for isolation and dead money, not just because your hand looks active.

Table example

After an open and a loose call, A-A-K-Q double-suited can squeeze to isolate and deny cheap equity.

Leak to avoid

Squeezing hands that look pretty but perform badly when called in bloated multiway pots.
