Should people be called 3x- 4x blind raises with 66 and 77 ?

I always thought you were supposed to fold these hands to raises . In both cash games and tourneys. Am I right ? I folded 77 to a big 12x blind raise early in a tourney and hit a set with them but I folded so I couldn't double up on them.

Then I got A Q and raised big and had two guys call with 77 and 66 and I got knocked out.

Poker Stars has to be one of the worst places to play poker. You buy-in to a $10 SNG and you are playing with pros. I mean holy [censored]. Everyone folds and no one calls a river bet or flop bet. Unreal. I played my last game there.

Who want's to play .05/.10 NL with flop percentages around 30 - 40 % ? GEEZ.

Read dependent. Thats all there is too it.

But if any paint comes, can you trust continuing to play? Read dependent.

I turned $50 into $1600 in one month of 1 tabling (sometimes 2). I probably played 10 hours each week. I was playing PS $6.5s and $16s. They are incredibly beatable. Full of fish, who will get all in preflop with A4 in level 1, can't get away from top pair, play AJ like it is the nuts etc.
