Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 53.4 BB
SB: 225.21 BB (VPIP: 16.08, PFR: 11.50, 3Bet Preflop: 5.44, Hands: 873)
Hero (BB): 113.71 BB
UTG: 107 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 2)
MP: 102.71 BB (VPIP: 35.98, PFR: 26.22, 3Bet Preflop: 7.02, Hands: 170)
CO: 128.61 BB (VPIP: 22.22, PFR: 11.11, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 9)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has J♠ J♣

fold, MP raises to 3 BB, fold, BTN calls 3 BB, fold, Hero raises to 13 BB, fold, BTN calls 10 BB

Flop: (29.5 BB, 2 players) 6♥ 3♣ 7♥
Hero checks, BTN bets 13 BB, Hero raises to 100.71 BB and is all-in, BTN calls 27.4 BB and is all-in

Turn: (110.3 BB, 2 players) 6♠

River: (110.3 BB, 2 players) K♣

Spoiler

Hero shows J♠ J♣ (Two Pair, Jacks and Sixes) (Pre 82%, Flop 86%, Turn 95%)
BTN shows 2♥ 2♠ (Two Pair, Sixes and Twos) (Pre 18%, Flop 14%, Turn 5%)
Hero wins 107.5 BB

Is it ok to sqz vs MP to isolate fish? MP also has loose stats from UTG and MP.

On this flop I expect fish to bet all his hands, and when I shove I expect him to call almost all hands (because fish get aggro in sqeeze pots and feel committed).
Do you think it is better bet bet? I think when I bet bet, he cant call me with KQ, AQ and similar, but this way he can.

Hey Mlatasrb,

Squeezing is fine here, especially since MP does not look that tight. Assuming MP decides to continue to your 3bet you should proceed with caution however.

Generally I would always bet this flop and get the money in as fast as possible. If you knew opponent would bet with 100% frequency then check-raise is better, but I'm not sure how you could know this unless you have a decent amount of history!

Is it ok to use general population read, that fish when calling 3bet or sqeeze (having big pot on flop) get crazy? At least this is my experience in NL50, where almost all fish were betting all hands (except nuts), and calling almost all hands. So, I assume it is similar in NL100?

If he's going to get crazy, he might just get crazy vs a cbet anyway + you don't risk him checking back and freerolling a ton of equity by cbetting.

I have not necessarily noticed a population read that BTN will fire extremely frequently here, just abiding by the general principle not to slowplay hands against a fish. If your population read is correct then I like your play and think check/raise is optimal.
