Preflop: If the blinds are tight and you have good control over your opponent(meaning he respects your raises and wont chase that much postflop) then I like the raise. In the typical live game the blinds are seldom tight enough to make iso raising with 66 here correct IMO and in your game it looks to me that the blinds are also not tight enough to make this play. So I would just limp in with 66. FLOP: you must bet to force out all overcard type hands, believe it or not this is actually one of the better flops for you since hands like 77,KQ,QJ will most likely fold to a flop bet, which would not be the case on a Ten high flop. TURN: This pot has reached a decent size, you have one opponent left who has shown no strength, standing between you and this pot, you must bet and give him a chance to fold. Check the river if you dont improve.

I think I gain more folding equity on this board by raising preflop? I may be giving my opponents too much credit here, but are any of them gonna believe that I limped an ace I can't raise with on the button?
