hi NL,

if the typical opponent plays 99 by calling down (and thus presumably a T as well, as well as that plus ossibly more with an overpair) shouldn't he ought to play 66 this way?

corollary - how would you play 66? I would like villain's line if that's what he has

why would you play 66 that way? Its terrible. I would lead the flop, but whether you lead the flop or check and cold call on flop or check/3bet the flop, you absolutely have to bet the turn. If you check, the bet is going to come from one of the guys who was aggressive on the flop (probably button) why would you CR and knock out BB and Kurosh? Not to mention that by checking you risk button taking a free card (which it looks like he would have done given the fact that he folded to Kurosh's bet).
