AK on K66 flop against a flop 3-bet

[marand]

Reads: Button is new to the table (only played one orbit). In that orbit he has done a lot of calling. So far he seems like a loose passive fish, but too early to tell for sure how aggressive he is.

SB is also new to the table but also seems to be fairly loose.

I raise the flop since I don't think a raise is going to scare away the button. He either hit something or he is going to fold it anyways, there are no draws on this board. Another line could be to just call the flop hoping to get a raise in on the turn, but I prefer the flop raise here.

Then the button 3-bets the flop, which for me screams a 6. Guess he could have a king, but I don't think he would 3-bet it, but it is a possibility. SB calls and I am not at all worried about his hand. He probably has 2 outs if he has a pair or he needs runner runner to beat me so I want him to stay in the pot. So here I just turn passive, I don't want to scare away SB if my hand is good and I think it's a fair chance that button has a 6 and I only have 2 outs. For me this is a clear example on when you are either far ahead or far behind.

What do you think about this? Good, terrible or somewhere in between? For me the only alternative line would be to cap the flop, lead the turn and call down if raised on the turn.

cap flop or reraise turn, you have a great hand. I can't put him on a 6 just because he raises me on flop.

Yeah you definitely cant put him on a 6 just because he 3bet the flop, anyone would do that with a king and many people will do it with a lower pocket pair.
Cap the flop and lead the turn
