While 66 is a reasonable flop bluff-catcher, the turn card completes straights and strengthens the raiser's range, making a fold necessary.
Flop Analysis
Calling the small c-bet is correct. We have a pocket pair that beats their air (AQ, AJ) and a backdoor spade draw to help us continue on certain turns.
**Ranges:** HJ has a range advantage with all the strong Kx (AK, KQ) and sets, but they also c-bet many high-card hands that we currently beat.
**Math:** We are getting 3.4:1 on a call, requiring only ~23% equity. With over 40% equity against a standard c-betting range, folding would be a significant mistake.

> **Takeaway:** Don't over-fold small pocket pairs on high-card boards when facing small bets; you have enough equity to see a turn.
Turn Analysis
Folding is the only play here. The turn card is terrible for our hand as it connects the board, completing JQ straights and giving HJ many new top/middle pairs.
**Board:** The Tc is a dynamic card that significantly shifts the advantage. It completes the straight and makes hands like KT, QT, and JT much stronger, while our 66 remains a pure bluff-catcher.
**Ranges:** Our range is condensed and capped after calling the flop, whereas HJ remains uncapped with all the nuts. We no longer beat enough of their semi-bluffs to justify calling a nearly half-pot bet.
**Plan:** On this texture, we look to continue with 9x, Tx, Kx, and strong spade draws. 66 has plummeted to the bottom of our range and should be released.

> **Takeaway:** When the turn completes multiple draws and hits the aggressor's range, fold your weakest bluff-catchers.
