raising: also not smart. 66 is not a premium hand here (it's obviously a great pushing hand during late game). if you raise 3x or 2.5x or whatever, either BB and SB might call thinking you're on a steal. then you're left with having to play a very tough hand postflop because you're almost certainly going to be looking at overs. what happens when one of the blinds leads out on a T93 flop? what about a J53 flop? what about you getting checkraised? whatever happens, you're in a marginal spot with a marginal hand, and it's going to be tough to play postflop.

Since when did you need a premium hand to steal the blinds from the button? You can raise, then continuation-bet any flop, and give up if there is any resistance.

The blinds are virtually worthless. Risking more chips to win them is foolish.

So you fold everything but, say, 99/TT+ and AQ+?
