Dan Harrington’s Squeeze Play
In the 2004 WSOP Main Event, Dan Harrington made his famous Squeeze Play. He is in middle position and rags at hand. Josh Arieh with a K-high minimum raised it and Greg Raymer called it with an A-high. Sensing weak hands, Action Dan re-raised around 60% of his chips. This made both players fold.
As you can see, it doesn’t take a strong hand to be able to trick opponents out of the pot. To make this move work, you must be consistent in showing the table that you’re aggressive and not afraid of the consequences.
