so the question is: Is the Hexagon squeeze really useful, or can it always be executed as a guard squeeze?
No idea. I suspect that if you're good enough to recognize a hexagon squeeze positon at the table you're good enough to pull it off without having to refer to book learnin'.

Note: I started reading these squeeze articles in search of double/compound squeeze examples. And I think that these double squeezes (...to start with) are useful for me. Not so much for the squeeze position, but to motivate me to be more attentive in the hope that I will recognize the position at the table sometimes.
The hard part is recognizing them at the table. I studied squeezes for a while before I started noticing the positions during actual play. I still remember the first one I pulled off on purpose. I've seen a few double squeezes too. For the most part, once you see them they're fairly simple to execute.
Compound squeezes seem rare; I've only seen one at the table.
