Late stages of MTT agressive raise from early position

[dafu]

I am the chip leader with 100 people to go. Blinds at 600/1200 ante 125.
A player raised to 6400 from early position and I called with a pair of sixes.
Flop is K, T, 3, all clubs. The other player raised the same amount and I called.
6 of spades came on the turn and I raised 3x big blind and he went all in.
I thought that he had a pair or a flush draw. I called and he had the nut flush from the flop.
Would you have played pocket sixes if you were the chip leader and faced with an agressive raise from early position?

BTW my gut told me not to play pocket sixes with an aggressive raise but a pocket pair is a good starting hand and i thought me might be trying to steal the blinds and antes because they are about 3k.

dont call raises with small PP unless you both are super deep

Thanks for the advice Fjaman but what would you consider "super deep"? later stages of the money or what?

[Fjaman]

Im talking about your chipstack...
I would say at least 10 times the raise you are calling in that instance but i would probably like 15 times before i was comfortable to call in your situation...

I like to use M value otherwise and an M over 20 can be considered deep over 30 is even better for small PPs, remember that there are flops that you want to continue playing on even if you dont hit a set and the only way you can do that skillfully is to have lots of room chipwise

Thanks for the advice when I am deep in a tourney again I will use this advice. Anybody else got some good advice that I can use?

Advice?... Yup. Read 'Harrington On Holdem Vol.1 & 2' , then read all the MTT advice in the Sticky section here on FTR. Guaranteed it'll improve your game immensely.

I fold preflop like everyone else says, but more importantly why are you calling a bet on a KT3 3-flush board with 66? It's not like a flush to the 6 is worth anything.

[dafu]

I don't know what I was thinking. I should have just folded preflop but I didn't. Bad move on my part after playing a good game all up to this point.
