Squeeze
挤压加注
A squeeze play is a 3-bet (or re-raise) made when there is a raiser and at least one caller before you. The caller is 'squeezed' between the original raiser and the squeezer, often facing a difficult decision. Squeezes are effective because the caller's range is usually capped (they would have 3-bet with their strongest hands), and the original raiser faces a 3-bet out of position.
Example
UTG raises to 3bb, CO calls. You squeeze from the BB to 12bb with KQs, putting pressure on both players.
