We have other stronger hands to continue with. I understand flatting pre is difficult, but it's better than folding. So is shoving, I'm not sure which of those two is best. I prefer shove for my overall strategy.
Two questions:
1. Let's assume we check-call flop and our opponent bets turn on a brick. (i.e., a card that is unlikely to improve anyone's hand) Doesn't folding a pair in this spot mean we're folding too much? If we fold 66 to two bets, are we overfolding?
2. As to whether we can 3b/fold pre, I think in this spot 66 near the bottom of my 3b/value range, and the question is whether we should have some hands at the bottom of that range that we can fold. I completely understand having hands like weak Axs or one-gapped broadways that we 3b as bluffs because they're not good enough to call or raise for value.
I'm just asking questions, not saying I'm right or wrong and am way more likely to be the latter.
