looking for spots of value no.2

I found this little value spot. I had a relatively tight image but had been stealing a little from the cutoff and button. The big blind was a 24/22 and had a 3bet% of 15%.


I made a standard raise and the button called. The big blind paused. In my mind I thought If I was him I would squeeze here.

$0.5/$1 No Limit Holdem
6 players
Converted at weaktight.com


Stacks:
UTG ($51.50)
UTG+1 ($92.52)
Hero (CO) ($114.00)
BTN ($114.00)
SB ($109.00)
BB ($106.00)

Pre-flop: ($1.50, 6 players) Hero is CO

2 folds, Hero raises to $3.50, BTN calls $3.50, 1 fold, BB raises to $14.50, Hero raises to $36, BTN folds, 1 fold

Final Pot: $33
Hero shows:

Hero wins $54.50 ( won +$18.50 )
BB lost -$14.50
BTN lost -$3.50


The fact that I thought that he should squeeze made me repop him. He knows now that any bet from him now commits his stack. I, on the other hand, can still fold to any reraise. Im effectively putting the fear of playing for stacks without actually putting my stack at risk.

Fancy play syndrome ? or smart play?

Smart play depending on the villian. From the sounds of it, BB is a thinking, solid player.

Therefore smart play!
