Default Re: Further continuation?

I would be thinking some kind of PP here, you say he will call down with 66, so I find a check here.

Typically I would fire again.

Problem is, it's usually gonna cost us 1 BB to get to showdown no matter what, unless the guy holding the middle pair is donktacularly passive (if we bet turn, check river he'll often check behind; if we check turn and he doesn't bet then, he'll certainly bet the river if checked to).

So I'd rather be the guy firing the 1 BB out on the turn. Our opponent(s) might fold rarely, but after we've been the aggressor on three streets now an overpair must at least cross their minds. And as James noted, if I get raised in this spot I don't have to worry that I'm throwing away the best hand. Make one or both opponents a little more aggressive and/or tricky though, and I agree that I could find a check here.
