In this hand, the plan was to either flop a set and play for stacks with a likely bad villain or airball the flop and lose $2.
True TAGs never limp? I dunno. I want to see cheap flops with small PP and stack folks who overplay top pair hands. I play these very aggressively post flop when I hit. I lose the min when I miss. I think open raising hands like 66 veers into LAG territory. In late position with a couple of limpers and a hand like 66, I think limping is the right at most of the time.
This hand, on river: not folding for 35bb on the river. If he has 97, nice hand, we beat most everything else (obvi not bigger sets).
I like a bigger raise on the flop and a bigger turn bet but the OPs sizing is pretty close to what I'd do, I'd just edge it up a bit. 20 flop sets up 40 turn, which leaves V about 40 for the river, which you snap call if he shoves or he'll call off with most any holding.
