You capped it with 66? WTF?

I guess you got my email eh?

You weren't playing scared, those turn and river cards were ugly. But the thing I do wanna mention is that I totally agree with beavis in that I'm not sure that even with maniacs that I'd cap preflop with a low pp like 66. I think you played fine, I would have assumed I was losing from the turn on (a capped pot preflop indicates to me at least one higher pp) and the ace at the end makes me at least 80% sure that I'm losing.

I agree with the other posters regarding your post-flop play. However, I don't think I would played this hand at all, let alone capped the betting with it. Maybe I'm too timid a player, but even if I were in late position, had 66, and there were two re-raises in front of me, I would have not have called 3 bets cold with pocket sixes. Is the situation all that much different from the SB when you have to call 2.5 bets to remain in the hand? That's a lot of money to throw into a pot with a hand that is easily outflopped.

I agree, if I can't limp in (or maybe call one raise from the BB if there are several players in) with a hand like 66, I'm getting out of Dodge, since I'm probably folding unless antoher 6 flops anyway.

This is a fold preflop, your implied odds are pretty much wrecked.

As for postflop play, overcall plan on flop is fine. But I would have check-called the turn and check-called the river. Considering your read was that he would raise hands like 98s here if you bet out, then I assume he would bet with those hands too if you checked on the turn and river. Basically you WANT him to bet when you check to him so that you can call him down and hope he's bluffing/has a worse hand. Also if he happens to have a better hand than you, then you lose the minimum by just checkcalling.

If the Ace didn't fall on the river, then you could also check-call the turn, then bet out on the river to prevent him from taking a free showdown with a worse hand.

Agreed.
