Villian is large stack, hero is 2nd in chips. There is 16 left I believe and I felt there was no need to put my whole tourney on a draw, but villian was aggressive, I came very very close to calling here because at worst I am drawing to 12 outs, at best I am drawing to 6s, As, and hearts. Thoughts?

If you're going to fold to the reraise, smoothcall on the flop, he's pricing you into your draw. I also don't like the PF limp.

I think if you're going to play the hand it should be raised preflop.

Well I had been running over the table with steals, so I had a pretty solid idea that unless someone caught a monster I would get to see a flop as my limp would have set off signals to everyone. On the flop I generally should have called, but my thought was if I take it here, great, if I don't he would only call or maybe minraise, on the minraise I push and put him to the decision. This was the one move that would win him the pot, but I didnt see it as a viable option for anything other than 76 for him.

why reraise urself right out of the pot when he gave you a great price to draw to the nuts.

I fold here though agianst the 1 guy that can bust you. I'm just never a big fan of going broke in an unraised pot.

I'm going to agree with everyone else in the thread and say that you should smoothcall his flop bet.
