66 in LP

No significant reads. Should I have bailed, and if so, where?

I probably would have folded preflop. I might limp, though, and hope the button and blinds come along. (With 66, what I really want is to have a lot of opponents and to hit a set.)

I've made this kind of preflop raise before, though. I would tend to do it if MP1 was loose (and thus very easily could have only one overcard) and I thought I could get heads-up with him.

But your raise didn't limit the field much. Plus, there's an ace on the flop, which you can't like too much. But, after it was checked to me, I might fire a bet into the pot in the hopes that the ace will scare my opponents and I can take it right there.

After that didn't work, I think I'd just give up.

But, since no one else bet during the hand besides you, there really isn't a time to bail postflop.
