66 hand from Stars $320

[james129]

If you are going to call the turn I would bet out on any overcard on later streets that is not an ace.

Ok, sorry for my nooby question, but why is raising 66 bad preflop? What stacksizes are we looking for that raising with 66 utg+1 is correct? Veeeery deep or in push/fold mode?
Just want to improve my game

at all.

I think raising small pps w/ relatively shallo stacks is a huge yet very common mistake.

I think I might be ass backwards in my thinking because I'm thinking the exact opposite.

Relative deep stacks are more likely to call PF and more likely to pay off when you nail a set, yet less likely to fold to a c-bet.

However, these stacks (I would think) would be less likely to call with marginal hands and more likely to get married to top pair when you do nail a set. Plus, the right c-bet will force these stacks out if they did miss.

I like a PF raise because of the stack sizes and the FE pre and post flop.

In general I agree with Ansky here. However, given Nath's typical EP play (my impression of this play may be completely wrong...however I've seen a few PXF replays that show him raising in EP very light) do you still believe Nath shouldn't be raising 66 here?

If I raise 66 in EP it has very little to do with the strength of my hand and everything to do with my table image and the tightness of the table. It's certainly better to have 66 than 72o here, but not by that much.
