Default Re: 666

I don't normally play 66 UTG in a 10-handed game, but if I do, I'm raising with it.

On the flop, you have two lines of attack. One way to play it is to just call and see what the people behind you do. You don't want overcards drawing to runner-runner hands to fold. If it's raised behind you, then feel free to 3-bet. If not, wait till the turn. The other line is the one you took. But if you're going to raise right off the bat, then I would cap the flop and extract bets while there's still lots of action.

On the turn, given the way you've played the hand so far and what we know of your opponents, there's no reason not to 3-bet. The only reasonable hand that beats you is 99, and there's no reason yet to assume anyone has it. In fact, MP3 likely has AA/KK/QQ/JJ/TT, and SB has JJ/TT.

On the river, it looks very likely that MP3 hit his 2-outer, but the pot is too big for you to fold, so you make a crying call.
