Default Re: protecting 66 from possible draws, played correctly?

Villains range is pretty wide PF because he plays a lot of hands but doesn't raise many of em. I find it hard to put him on a useful range that that point. Could easily include various pairs, connectors or suited aces. More often a limp followed by a call of a decent raise is a PP because people pull out all the stops to see a flop with them.

A CB on that board is suspicious because it doesn't look the the sort of board you've hit so I'm not surprised at the call but I think it probably means he has something. Could be a flush draw or straight draw or an overpair or something like A5 (unlikely given the PF action). I don't think you need to bet quite that much. You don't want this to be a big pot in the slightest and less than pot will spoil drawing odds....as long as you don't pay off later.

With lowish PPs like that I'm keen on playing too much poker post flop for obvious reasons. So I'm either checking that turn or betting less. You've ended up building a $30 pot with a very vunerable hand even though you had position on him. You've played it like you were pretty committed to it but I'm not sure you should have been. If you'd checked the turn you'd be looking at a 12.50 pot and maybe he'd have bluffed at it and you could have called. Since a T showed up he probably would have checked anyway but we didn't know that on the turn.
