Also, if the raise is kind of high, like $2.50 or so, but 3 players call, I will take a chance with a hand like 33 or 44 on the chance of a big payout if it hits.
Betting on a single number on a roulett wheel has a big payout too, but your long term odds aren't there. I tried to quanitfy what conditions the long term odds are favorable. 5th player in with a baby pair for $2.50 is probably a good bet if you and several of the other players have plenty of chips left.

Per your flop of AJ6 holding 66 being favorable...

AA & JJ have you flat out beat
AJ, KQ, KT and QT all have 4 outs
Odds are a flop with 3 different ranks is either two suited or single suited putting out a flush draw or made flush.

Also, how much do you like your hand when these flops come up?

KQ6
QJ6
JT6
876
765
654

Once again, all those flops are likely two suited or single suited.
