Another small pair with a draw out of position

Image
The villain is tight. Nearing 50 hands he has VP 16% and PF 13% of hands. The second villian who calls the early raise has VP 26% and we haven't yet seen him 3 bet a hand. It only costs another 2 big blinds to see the flop and the hero closes the pre-flop action. When the flop comes with an ace the hero must be a big under dog against this range. Did he play this hand right?

How do you play pocket 6s out of position?

After 51 hands the villain has stats of VP 10 and PF 8.  A real nit? His AF on the flop is 0. Wts 67% and WSD 50%.  You call his preflop raise with your pair of 6s but find yourself out of position. How do you play this hand?

Should you bet the flop with your pocket queens?

Raising pre-flop with pocket queens is a given. When the limper calls your raise what do you know about his range? should you bet the flop when a king hits the flop? how would you play this hand

Pocket pairs can prove profitable but can also be expensive.  The villain is VP 21, PF 17 over 65 hands. When would you fold this hand? P
