Q1: Should I continue this hand on the flop

Cite from Lee Jones' Winning Low Limit Hold'em: "If the flop is all one rank when you have a pocket pair, you have an awkward situation. If you have a big pair (tens or higher), you have to stay with it as long as no overcards fall.

yes, you were way too passive on this one. im not saying you should bet and raise all the way to show down, but at least bet flop and bet turn, and maybe check/call the river if noone raises you. this ist the best way to get information on other peoples hands. once you get a raise u might think about folding.

Lee Jones is - again - very wrong.

444 is a great flop for 66. In fact, it is probably one of the best flops for 66 that does not contain a 6! Here, only a bigger pocket pair or a single 4 beats you, but both is unlikely, especially since there has not been a raise pre-flop.

In other words: you do have a very strong hand, so play it accordingly. Bet the flop, try to prevent overcards from drawing out on you.

In you case, since you checked, you have to raise when the button bets.
