I agree, should be mostly folded. It's a Mix in this dynamic in low rake sims and it causes us problems in high rake environments.

However, if you feel you are being pushed around in this spot, is that vs this particular player or vs the pool in general? If you think the pool is exploiting you, you have to stop the behavior and evaluate it because this stuff will just bleed winrate and redline. If you think this guy is exploiting you specifically, you have to get your ranges in order and things will mostly take care of themselves.

The issue with this particular board is that we just never have anything. We have 77, 87s, A3s and that's about it. Reasonable BB's will know this and really apply pressure on flops. I think we can exploitatively raise this bet some of the time with stuff like this since he just can't continue with about 1/2 his betting range. In this spot, I think I would choose the 66 combos without the 6s. We want to catch the 6s turn when they continue past a flop raise. They are certainly continuing FD's vs. a raise and catching the spade is just so much better than catching with one of the other suits on a paired two tone board.

Not sure you get to fold this vs that size, even with the rake. Would be interested in other opinions. You played the hand fine though, you are meant to fold a portion of your range on every streets and these hands will get folded a lot on flops and turns.
