if there are a couple of bad players (limping a lot and playing every hand) then i dont think a squeeze will necessarily get them to fold. i dont mind flatting in position here and trying to smash a flop. there is a fair chance that one of the other players will fall in love with their hand if you flop 2 pair or broadway.

I like benny's approach here in position providing that you saw them call off with mediocre hands post flop.

Otherwise I prefer a strong squeeze to test the table, around a 1000 if they 3 bet you fold, if they all you cbet almost everything succesfully unless they flop really big.

I personally wouldn’t do it since you scarecely ever narrow the field too much unless you bet big. Them donkeys will call you with K7s hoping to make a flush at these stakes early on.

I like benny’s approach. Don’t bloat the pot and hope to smash a flop and stack one of them.

Play as many cheap flops as possible against the fish this deep this early. They suck post flop so use your edge there.
