$0.5/$1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (4 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 6:c, 6:s.
Hero raises, BU 3-Bets, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (7.4 SB) K:c, T:h, 8:s (2 players)
Hero checks, BU bets, Hero?

BU is straightforfard TAG. Against his 3betting range i have around 33% EQ. I do struggle with these kind of hands and i dont know if my plan and play is always good.
Raising or folding on this flop is not an option i think. Better hands are not folding and also he will peel flop and turn with his gutshots and small pockets and i might just value bet for him not knowing where i stant on the river.
I think the only option is to call on flop. My call represents a hand with showdown value on this flop and he might check back some turns. I would fold any A, Q, J on turn. I expect him to barrel his Ax and pockets for free showdown and i dont expect him to barrel river with his smaller pocket pairs then JJ. So if board develops good its easy call on turn and reevaluate on the river?

What if i had say JTo or 99 instead of 66?

I like your analysis. As you figured out correctly it's neither a fold, nor a raise but you require 27% Equity for a calldown. Assumed you'll be paying 2,5BB and he bets through his entire range but most opponents don't bet AJ or AQ on the River.

Hands he could well be betting again on the Turn and checking back on the River ui. Folding on a broadwaycard is fine. But against a guy you have no reads about i would even call the River if just bricks appear. He could be betting smaller Ax+ QJ and he could also be betting AJ, just not knowing he'd be better off checking.

JT and 99 is slightly better because with 99, you may pick a thin valuebet from A8 and 77 and with JT you pick valuebets from those mentioned hands as well as from 99. Lets say a 9 appears on the Turn, i'd call the Turn again but probably c/f the River as more of his broadway cards got there and he'll be less inclined to double barrel AJ and AQ but apart from a 9 or J Q A, I do first show down my hand and pick a note on him.
