Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
There are pros and cons
There are pros and cons to what is the best situational squeeze when your opponent opens from the cut-off. If you have an opponent flat on the button, then you know their flatting range will be tighter than someone flatting from the small blind (which is good for you), but then they have position on you if they call (bad for you). There's a higher probability of your opponent trapping you in a situation like this (or thinking they are trapping the CO), and there's a higher probability that they could simply look to outplay you (bad for you).
On the other hand, squeezing when an opponent flats
On the other hand, squeezing when an opponent flats from the small blind puts you up against a tighter range, which will reduce folding percentages (bad for you), but when you are called by the small blind you'll have position (good for you). There's less of a chance that your opponent will trap or will be looking to call to out play you post flop (good for you).
