Squeezeing Limpers

I'm going to start a thread about this in 2+2 but I'm going to expand on the subjext a bit more here.

Personally I think that a well timed Squeeze Play is a lot more valuable than stealing blinds from CO or Button. My rationale is this. Whilst post flop the button is the last to act, pre flop is the one time when you as the BB have more information than anybody else at the table.

Further more if you are stealing from the button after its folded round then you are picking up 1 1/2 BB's (plus antes). Whereas a good squeeze play is getting at least 2 - 3 extra BB's. All valuable extra chips...

Unfortunately I've had a faulty radar today and walked into quite a few monsters that have limped in late position. Its a move I don't expect and just dont understand. If you're limping with Kings or Queens from the button / cutoff surely you're just inviting a bad beat by raggy Aces or random 2 pairs....

Anyway, small profit today. was only 2 tabling for most of it as my heart wasnt really in the grind and had a bit of a headache. Managed a 6th, a min cash and cashed in the PS Daily 30k. Also sat at an Omaha .5 / .10 table for about 15 minutes. Some madness going on but I figured after winning 1.5 buyins after rivering quads was a decent time to leave!

any comments on the dangers of squeezing are more than welcome.
