Stars $20 + $2 SnG. I had a tight, solid table image, so I thought the PF raise with my J/images/graemlins/spade.gif T/images/graemlins/spade.gif was reasonable here. I then made a continuation bet on the flop, followed by a second barrel on the turn before shutting it down. This hand is the one which crippled me. Too aggressive?

I would fold preflop. Too small bet to get the desired effect on the flop. When he calls I wouldn't do it again on the turn. I would check and hope for the free card.

Basically we have a hand that (IMO) shouldn't have costed you anything losing you 40% of your stack.

You have a nice sized stack where you dont need to make any moves that can hurt you. Fold this preflop and move on to the next hand.

There's no way I would have called those three bets from CO's position with pocket 6's. Especially from a guy I read as tight. Maybe the pre flop bet, but when 2 overcards hit and no 6 I'm out of there.

Blinds are too small to be risking your chips for T75. I
would probably fold preflop and if I don't I would bet more
on the flop and if called I'm done.
