This is an unknown opponent.
I guess this i a pretty straight forward hand, but I'm just curious to hear what you think when someone check-raises ~3x pot on this kind of board.

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

BTN: $9.12 (456 bb)
SB: $0.96 (48 bb)
BB: $2.47 (123.5 bb)
Hero (UTG): $2.05 (102.5 bb)
MP: $1.15 (57.5 bb)
CO: $0.34 (17 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A A
Hero raises to $0.06, MP folds, CO calls $0.06, BTN folds, SB calls $0.05, BB folds

Flop: ($0.20) 6 6 T (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.09, CO folds, SB raises to $0.90, Hero calls $0.81

Turn: ($2) A (2 players)
River: ($2) 9 (2 players)

Results:

Spoiler

$2 pot ($0.07 rake)
Final Board: 6 6 T A 9
SB showed J T and lost (-$0.96 net)
Hero showed A A and won $1.93 ($0.97 net)
CO mucked and lost (-$0.06 net)

I cbet small because I have close to 80% equity against their flatting ranges, and I want to keep weaker hands like pocket pairs, tens and maybe overcards in the hand.

I think calling is correct because if you remove everything except overpairs and hands containing tens or sixes from his range, I'm still ahead.

So my question is: which range would you put him on in this situation?

Hi MisterAnand

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: Why are we cbetting so small? I understand that you want to keep his range wide but nothing that you listed there folds if you bet larger. In my opinion you just lose value betting that small.

And once he shoves we have an easy call. That's a bluff (given our small bet), Tx, or other pairs and very rarely 6x or better.
