If BB is tight I wouldn't mind the raise to steal the pot pre-flop.
Post-flop seems fine. Against some villains I would shutdown the turn.
He could have some Ax hands in his range and it will be tough to get value or a better hand to fold.

What do you mean when you say you would shutdown the turn? English is not my native language

Why do you bet flop and turn?

I think raising is OK, I would do it readless, and fold only if BB 3bets a lot

On flop is standard Cbet, i have 2nd pair and I think he may pay with pocket pairs and gutshots. I think my bad move was to bet on turn.

Well he may, but he may not, not sure if 66 calls a 2/3 bet here against an uncapped range, on the other hand villain has most of the better Jx and Ax as well, that will call all the time vs this sizing

I'm fairly sure he means something like, "Rather than making a turn CBet, just check/fold on the turn -- perhaps call a v small bet, but check/fold the turn."

BTW fantastic screen name -- I wish I had thought of it!

the steal is totally fine, but this cbet sizing is probably not appropriate for your hand.
it's quite unlikely you are getting called by worse pairs to the river and villain is in position, so he can valuebet/bluff draws quite nicely.
