Hand Near The Bubble

Pockets 6"s would be too sick and would punish your play to the max - not raising PF and not jamming the flop. For your sake I hope it wasn"t 66.

I also hope he shows 99 or TT but the chances are just too slim. So ... QQ?

call on flop is ok but if you are continuing with the hand you may as well just ship in on the turn imo

A 6 or
6 2

Re-read it and noticed two weak-ass bets on Flop and Turn I"m guessing a STRONG hand.

I would therefore like to change my answer, to 67 hearts.

Well I was comfortable ahead preflop and on the flop, but on a two outta after the 5 hit the turn.  I played it badly.  My read on his was likely to be AK, AQ and I got it wrong.  If the 5 hadn"t of hit, it would have been a different story.

The only way I would have likely got through it is if I had been a lot stronger and aggressive pre as you have all stated.  Very hard at times to get the balance between getting value out of premium hands and giving players a chance to catch up.

If an A, K or Q had hit the turn, I would have been more concerned, but the 5 just wasn"t a scare card.

In this case, I got it very very wrong.  A lesson learnt though.
