A 6 o Short Short stack at FT on SB...what would you do?

[jdubs]

First off, i was happy to be at a FT, as it has been awhile for me! I was at about 22K in chips, but oddly enough there were a couple guys below me.. blind just went up to 8/4 K , SB knocks me down to 18 K.. all folds to me. holding A 6 o . What do you do?

was the BB a big stack or a small stack?

I'd all in a very tight player, did you have a read?

Definatly never call the hand.

Yeah if the BB is not a big huge stack (I'd say 3x you) who has been calling with marginal hands I think you have to move in here... one more orbit and you need to double twice.

meh, I dont care what the big stack has been doing, its folded to me and Im pushing there. If he has a PP, oh well, too bad. If he doesnt have a PP and doesnt have and A in his hand you are ahead. If you lose that race, oh well too bad. But you cant fold here. If the guy is making lose calls a lot, thats fine, you have the A and you just have to pray that it holds up, and thats an easy double.

Thanks for the input. The BB was a bigger stack than me ( but almost everyone at the table was..lol).. I did push AI, and he was holding QJ o, flop came Q rag rag, and turn and river didnt hit my A so I was done. I figured I already had 4 K in that pot, and not much left to work with, I think I made the right move , even though it didnt pan out. I noticed the odds graphic came up during the hand on Pokerrroom ( a new feature there which I really like, it shows odds/percentages of every hand involved in an AI pot, and reflects the changes after flop, turn and river) I was a 53/47 favorite, essentially a coin flip slightly in my favor.
