66 becomes a set, what to do with this flop?

I'm considering capping this, I'll admit more out of irritation than anything else, which is bad.

Should I be coming over the top of this, or do we want to call and bring everyone along to the turn with hands we're probably still ahead of?

Do you think BB is going to fold after committing two bets on this flop? Is MP3 going to bail out on you? I don't understand the confusion.

pop a cap in it's ass. I don't think you'll lose anyone here. You have the field as trapped as they could be, so you might as well exploit your edge. No need to get tricky at this level. In the event that you don't take my advice, c/r the turn to trap the field then.

---------------------------------
this is my obligatory edit because, as always, I forgot something.

you're 3-betting here and hoping BB caps behind you. Lead the turn either way.

They're not going anywhere; if anything, you'll bloat the pot so they'll call more often on later streets. Easy 3-bet.

You could be up against top pair, two pair, and straight draws. I think I'd pop it again on the flop. Your're only looking at 5BB on the turn if you call. It will be 7.5BB if all just call your raise. A straight draw might cap and make it 10BB on the turn. Anyway, everyone will probably be coming along on the turn when you bet.

The argument for just calling might be that you can get a checkraise in on the turn. But if your up against a T for top pair and an overcard comes, the TP might not bet. A straight draw will probably not bet the turn either unless he fills in. Hmmmm, I say pop it now. And if a straight card comes on the turn and you meet aggression, be careful.

3 bet and its not even close.

easy 3-bet. nobody is folding now. and I'm not sure why this is irritating, getting to put in lots of bets with a great hand.

Hard to say without any read on MP3.
I'd cap away...

There is probably no hand in limit Hold'em that warrants a flop cap more than bottom set. If he just happens to have 87, 99, or TT (the last two not as likely, concerning the preflop action), so be it. You're WAY ahead of every other hand, and the board is too draw-heavy to consider slowplaying.
