Default Re: Jen, was this a variance play?

66 is a fine raising hand up front in a shorthanded game, but if you're gonna lay it down on a board of [K 7 7 ] 4 Q , then I think you might want to reconsider playing it. This is doubly true with an aggressive player on your left who will 3 bet you with a wide range of hands and who plays well after the flop. This is triply true when a loose player is on the button and will call you anyway, thereby decreasing your odds of stealing the blinds. Discretion is the better part of valor.
