Well, I have a lot of questions with this type of hands (speculative ones):
$0.02 NL - Holdem - 7 players
MP: 101.5 BB (VPIP: 22.73, PFR: 4.55, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 22)
CO: 74 BB (VPIP: 36.95, PFR: 13.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.58, Hands: 504)
BTN: 81 BB (VPIP: 25.42, PFR: 5.08, 3Bet Preflop: 3.64, Hands: 119)
Hero (SB): 114 BB
BB: 32.5 BB (VPIP: 42.86, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 7)
UTG: 74 BB (VPIP: 53.19, PFR: 8.70, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 47)
UTG+1: 81 BB (VPIP: 27.25, PFR: 17.38, 3Bet Preflop: 5.84, Hands: 447)
Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 6♦ 6♣
UTG calls 1 BB, fold, fold, fold, BTN calls 1 BB, Hero calls 0.5 BB, BB checks

With small pocket pairs, if I have 1 to 2 limpers before me and I believe they would fold for an eventual c-bet flop (as a bluff) and I'm IP, I usually raise. Sometimes, if I'm at LPs and the players after me are passive, I call.
But with 2 limpers and OOP, I almost always overlimp.
Do those lines make sense?
Flop: (4 BB, 4 players) 7♣ Q♥ 6♥
Hero bets 2 BB, BB calls 2 BB, UTG calls 2 BB, fold

(I hate to play OOP)
In terms of bet size, to extract value from draws and maybe some A-high (I can't think in anything else that I beat and that could pay me off other than a TP with kicker issues or a middle pair with A-kicker), should I go for 1/2 pot here?
Do you bet more with a made hand, when you're out of position?
I can't think in any hand that would've payed me 2/3 pot in this spot.
Turn: (10 BB, 3 players) 5♠
Hero bets 7.5 BB, fold, UTG calls 7.5 BB
Thoughts:

This 5 is kind of horrible, because it completes some SDs.
I don't remember why I c-betted so much on it :-/
Maybe I thought the vilan was too passive and that he would pay me off with draws or any trash that he still had, but I didn't plan for a re-raise in the turn or a position bet/raise in the flop.
River: (25 BB, 2 players) 5♦
Hero bets 12.5 BB, fold
Thoughts:

Well, I got lucky here :-/
Now, it is just a matter of thinking which type of hand would pay a 3rd cbet on this river and how big it should be...
I believe that only hands that had me beaten on the turn, would've payed any bet on this river, so my play on the turn sucked.

Hero wins 23.5 BB
