Squeeze Effect-Strategy

This is to be used against loose aggressive players who are good enough to actually worry about table position. Let’s say that a LA guy raises under the gun (player A), a few fold, then another LA guy in say 6th position calls the raise (player B). You sitting on or near the button, and perceived as a fairly conservative player, decide to implement the squeeze effect. You raise in late position (not needing too much of a hand) and now player A has to seriously like his hand to call your raise. These are the reasons why:

1. You are perceived as a tight player and so could be representing a very strong hand.
2. If player A calls, he is still facing the possibility of a raise from player B who is still to act.
3. Player A will be first to act in every round, and you will always have position on him.
