In 3-max there is only one squeeze: the BTN opens, the SB calls, you are in the BB. Opens are very wide, so your range is much wider than in 6-max.
Stacks are often short in these formats, so the 25-40bb and 15-25bb lines are the ones you will meet most.
| Stack | Value | Mixed value | Bluffs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40bb and deeper | 88+, A9s+, ATo+, KTs+, KQo, QJs | 77, A9o, KJo | A2s to A8s, K6s to K9s, Q9s (mixed); A2o to A8o, K9o, QTo, JTo (low frequency) |
| 25 to 40bb | 77+, A8s+, ATo+, KTs+, KJo+, QJs | 66, A9o | A2s to A7s, K8s, K9s (mixed) |
| 15 to 25bb (shove) | 55+, A2s+, A7o+, K9s+, KTo+, QTs+, JTs, QJo | – | None |
If the BTN or the SB limps and you raise, that is an isolation, not a squeeze. These ranges do not cover that spot.
Strategy tip
In 3-max, against two wide ranges, every suited ace becomes a squeeze.
One: the BTN opens, the SB calls, the BB raises. Every other three-handed raise is a heads-up 3-bet or an isolation after a limp.
Because the BTN and the SB open and call with very wide ranges. Against two wide ranges, every suited ace becomes a squeeze.
No, it is an isolation: nobody opened. That spot follows a different logic and these ranges do not cover it.
