10/1 Tourney. Both button and SB have been doing an excellent job of stealing blinds by raising before every flop. Meanwhile, my cards have gone cold.

Would you have taken a stand here or waited for a better spot?

I fold preflop. Any hand I get involved in at this point is too likely to end up with all my chips in the middle.

On the flop, as it is, I think it is a push/fold. Depends on what you make of his small raise. If you think you are ahead, push. You only have a pair of sixes and shouldn't mind if he folds an 8,9,T,J,Q or K. And, once you make that raise, at this point, I think you are committed.

I lean torwards folding this PF too. great hand with 4 limpers in level I...terrible hand here...on the turn you couldnt ask for a better situation (under card to 6 came AND its a d)...but, the problem is, if you take your free card at the flush and miss, you're lost on the river....what kind of bet do you call? Do you check behind? I think I might push on this turn bet...if he's holding an A so be it...you still have 9 outs and I think most people at this level LOVE Ax in the SB and raise more...

you're too involved to get away....PUSH
