Inducing a Squeeze - Example 2

This is an even better example. hxm was so mad that I was stealing his blinds that he warned me to stop doing it. I knew he was gunning for me. We were down to 4 and I made the play:

FullTiltPoker Game #3418713608: $5 + $0.50 Sit & Go (26137140), Table 1 - 80/160 - No Limit Hold'em - 11:36:37 ET - 2007/08/31
Seat 1: Kajagugu (3,515)
Seat 3: hxm (4,945) - Even though he was the chip leader and one to my left, I had been hammering at him for a few orbits.
Seat 4: South TX Hunter (3,800)
Seat 5: StockDigi (1,240)
South TX Hunter posts the small blind of 80
StockDigi posts the big blind of 160
The button is in seat #3
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Kajagugu [As 8c]
Kajagugu raises to 420 - Less than 3xBB can seem either weak or strong. This was 100 less than my regular raise.
hxm raises to 4,945, and is all in - He jams on the button.
South TX Hunter calls 3,720, and is all in - SB was the tightest player at the table and had a VP$IP of less than 10% even though we were 4 handed for a while.
StockDigi folds
Kajagugu folds - I obviously fold here.
hxm shows [Ks Qc] - Not sure I would jam with KQ here, but he was obviously trying to bully me here and got caught by.....
South TX Hunter shows [Ah Ad] - LMAO
Uncalled bet of 1,145 returned to hxm
*** FLOP *** [3c 2d Jh]
*** TURN *** [3c 2d Jh] [Kh]
*** RIVER *** [3c 2d Jh Kh] [Js]
hxm shows two pair, Kings and Jacks
South TX Hunter shows two pair, Aces and Jacks
South TX Hunter wins the pot (8,180) with two pair, Aces and Jacks
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 8,180 | Rake 0
Board: [3c 2d Jh Kh Js]
Seat 1: Kajagugu folded before the Flop
Seat 3: hxm (button) showed [Ks Qc] and lost with two pair, Kings and Jacks - Goes on tilt, bubbles and goes from chip lead to bubble boy.
Seat 4: South TX Hunter (small blind) showed [Ah Ad] and won (8,180) with two pair, Aces and Jacks - I know he has a lot of chips but when we got heads-up he was still too tight and eventually I took him down with a lot of aggression.
Seat 5: StockDigi (big blind) folded before the Flop

On the one hand, I obviously got lucky here that the SB woke up with Aces. But on the other hand if it had been folded back to me I have to think favorably about making the call here anyway.
