Default 10/20 top two vs cts, 250BB deep and 3-handed

Just wondering what the best line here is that extracts the most value from a worse hand. I didn't reraise PF because I didn't want to build a huge pot. I suspect he views me as "nath the lagtard" even though I haven't been particularly out of line. And I'm assuming I'm not too worried about 66 here (or should I be if I 4-bet the flop and he 5-bets)?

zomg. i think CTS would qualify as a good thinking player, yes.

since you still have pos. on him, i'd flat call after thinking for a while. then see what happens on turn. there's a good chance he'll put the money in for you. if you're not into that, it may be tough to do unless he has a very close second best hand.
not a very drawy board to fake a hand with.

I would definately call here and probably just call a turn as well depending on bet size I don't see any reason to take him out of the lead in this pot and if you bomb the turn he's going to fold out A6 most of the time.

I just have to say that I love ZJ123's avatar.

More to come on the actual hand after I let the morning crowd get a chance to respond.

Call and minraise turn sounds good. I'm fairly certain you have to minraise him back at some point in the hand.

It's important to know whether or not he was watching Latin hotties during the hand.

While it's true for exactly KQ, KT or QT, I don't see how any other semi(?)bluff would have some outs so that they will actually consider calling except as a float. I mean you are talking about 2nd pair etc, how do you except a jack to ever raise the flop here? That is ridiculous.

Also I have no idea why you are discussing something like "4-beting and then having to fold"; obviously you have a bluff or a hand that plans to get it in, there are no legit hands that 4-bet to fold here, so that is not an issue ever. If there is such a fear in you that you will get outplayed by cts on the flop and that would be reason for people to float much more instead, that would automatically make a 4-bet very good here, since what you say is that cts is in fact LIKELY to go ahead with a bluff here.

What you say is only true whenever you can 4-bet a legit hand and fold to a 5-bet, which is not the case here.

I'm not saying a call is bad in any way, I'm just saying that it looks awfully tempting to make it 1110 here as opposed to calling.

your logic is so whack. calling a raise is obviously weaker than fckn 5 bet minraising.
