I think against an unkown I call down and curse when I see 66. The extra 2 bets may be worth a read to see if this guys going psycho with some random hand if you're going to be at the table for a while. You've got outs against something like A6 or K6 too.

It's worth a call-down. If he has like A6 or K6 we have some outs. I'd be curious to get a showdown and find out if he's one to not raise "the drawing hand" pre-flop.

I totally did not read yours before I posted. Phreaky.

what about SB, do i assume he's checking to UTG so i don't have to worry about a cold call?

i did what you said, it just felt like spewing a bit though.

call down. you may still have outs against 2 pair and sometimes people go crazy with any ace regardless of kicker. Make a note of whatever he has if he played out of line. Plus you have SB to pad your call down.

SB so has a cruddy A or K. Or 7, maybe a 2, or a BBBDSD...

Hehe, good to see we're on the right track.

I agree, these situations feel kinda spewey. Another thing - against an unkown, it may be worth the peace of mind, I hate questioning if I just folded the best hand. I've seen plenty of guys do this with something like A7 too.
