This player did a lot of squeeze plays like this, so I think my ATo is good here most of the times.

first I thought this is a horrible play, but trusting your read and seeing that he calls off with sth as KQ, it looks like a nice play.
Have to have strong reads, though.

Otherwise I'd prefer this play a little deeper, with higher foldequity and then pushing a suited connector or sth, but if u think u'll get called by a lot of worse hands (and he has to call pretty much everything given the odds) I like ATo here, buttom range, though, even vs rather loose player.

edit: sry didnt see u had flatted, thought openraiser was normal loose and 3better very loose, hmm in this case I usually prefer to 3bet myself, but again, if you know he'll squeeze with a very very wide range that you got clearly beat it could be ok.
wouldn't be my default play with ATo here, think its not strong enough to play it too trappy.

also keep in mind that the openraiser could push and you might have to fold, in case he also realized that the other guy was squeezing extremely loose.

I really don't like calling the open OOP with ATo, I would probably just fold or 3bet myself, but if I 3bet it's a shove and the open raiser has to be pretty loose

as played I think it's a fold to the 3bet, you have no FE and ATo plays quite badly AI pre, it's probably OK i terms of chip EV but you're basically flipping for a stack (that's if he is squeezing very wide, if not you're way behind)

I really dont like gettin it in with small edges in the bigs. Hes never folding it sounds +ev but these are really soft and you should be avoiding allins stealing pots and whe you get it in you want bigger edges.

button is never a bad flat. Sb is gonna be very marginal so the same kinda theory applies . If the raiser is spewin then its a good spot

true!

if openraiser is aggressive you can make a 3bet with a blocker!
as played for me its an easy fold...
squeeze is pretty big and you're probably crushed against his range!
