Is there any argument for calling here? Is 66 really the hand I should be gambling with here, with a rather large portion of my stack?

I guess you could say....you're against overs, maybe...and you want first...so you should gamble...

I fold here to begin with, unless I've got a big stack and am at a tight table.

No, you don't want to gamble here. Fold.

Easy fold.

I believe T.J. Cloutier said it in one of his books. Never call a large raise, either re-raise or fold and pocket sixes aren't enough for me to re-raise with.

Well, what actually happened was I was on the button w/ AQsuited, and pushed, and he called w/ 66.... I think it was a horrible call.

I won the race.

I was about to b**ch slap you if you had 66

The reason he called is because at $4.40, people have the mentality that getting into races is a good thing because they see it on TV all the time. There are times to race, and there are times not to. The call was bad, but not surprising.

That said, not sure I love pushing with AQ given the stack sizes, why not just a normal raise?
