Poker Term

中间位河牌彩虹挤压(MP River Squeeze Rainbow)

poker term, usually referring to making a squeeze bet a large raise on the river in middle position MP with a rainbow board three different suits to force opponents to fold.

This term is not a standard terminology used in the industry, but rather a combination of multiple poker concepts.

Composition Breakdown

  • MP: Middle Position, typically the seat after the under-the-gun position and before the hijack at a 9-handed table. It is characterized by acting early preflop but having some information available.
  • River: The river betting round, after the fifth community card is dealt.
  • Squeeze: A squeezing tactic, originally referring to a large re-raise from a late position after someone raises and multiple players call preflop; in postflop contexts, it extends to making a large bet in a multiway pot to squeeze opponents' calling ranges.
  • Rainbow: A rainbow board, meaning all three cards are of different suits. This reduces the possibility of flush draws, but straight draws may still be present.

Strategic Application

In a typical scenario, if a player faces one or a few opponents on the river and the board is rainbow (reducing flush threats), they may use a large bet (approximately 150% to 200% of the pot) to represent holding the nuts or a strong made hand, forcing draws or medium-strength hands to fold. The effectiveness of this play depends on the opponent's folding frequency and the player's hand range.

Notes

This term is rarely seen in authoritative poker literature or professional discussions. In actual communication, it is recommended to use a single standard expression (such as "large river bet") to avoid confusion.
