so i didn't want a bunch of GTFO or anything for my first post so i'll try to sound somewhat intelligent
i was playing a stars $55 6 max MTT last night, and to my left was a player w/ over 200K in profits. he was owning me all night w/ relentless agression so i started to really tighten up. the following spot came up and although everything was ideal for the situation (opponents, image, stack size, position, my hand strength) i think the play can be used profitably in a lot of different situations:
Speedpokah: posts the ante 75
scotsstar13: posts the ante 75
puffinmypurp: posts the ante 75
swede554: posts the ante 75
scotsstar13: posts small blind 400
puffinmypurp: posts big blind 800

Seat 5: puffinmypurp (big blind) folded before Flop
Seat 6: swede554 showed [6c 6s] and lost with two pair, Sixes and Deuces
so i thought it was really likely that puffinmypurp would squeeze given that he's extremely agressive and i had been playing pretty tight against him. I think he could be doing this with almost ATC. Once the UTG flats, I thought he would shove QQ, KK, and AK b/c with such a big pot, they are harder to play when you're in position than OOP. Also, because I have AQ, AA or QQ is unlikely b/c of card removal. Because of this, I chose to 4 bet jam. This created another squeeze, where the intial squeezer was now the one facing a raise with another person behind him to act. Also, the flatting two bet than jamming 4 bet looks really strong (kind of like a limp 3 bet does), and my stack size was big enough to the point where there was fold equity with my 4 bet shove. i think this play is extremely strong and can be done with an extremely wide range because opponents are going to be expecting something like QQ+ as your range. also, i have never seen this done in a video so if it is already a known line i appologize. i'm open to any and all feedback. also, i understand that the guy called w 66, but i think any decent player would fold 66 in that spot.
Thanks,
