The equity realization benefits of position offset the disadvantage of a capped range. BTN also has a more capped range than CO, yet they continue more often to the squeeze.As stacks get shallower, SB’s capped range is less of a liability, as they can take advantage of closing the action to either get all in pre-flop or play post-flop with a very low SPR and realize most or all of their equity. With deeper stacks, this makes shoving unappealing and hinders post-flop equity realization. The SB’s main liability is having the most capped range of anyone they had a tremendous incentive to squeeze all their strongest hands the first time around. Unlike the in position players, SB continues more often as stacks get shallower, with both shoving and calling becoming more appealing.

SB, being out of position and holding the weakest range of the three, rarely continues to the squeeze.Shallower stacks reduce the value of playing post-flop in position, shifting these players increasingly toward a shove-or-fold strategy, with both of them folding somewhat more often as stacks get shallower. For CO and BTN, calling gets less appealing as stacks get shallower, even though the BB’s squeeze offers slightly better odds.
