Fold. You need a MUCH better hand here - even more so, considering 4 left behind you.

Dealt to HERO [ 5d, 6h ]
accentprpl5 folds.
AceSpade_Kid folds.
HERO?

Fold. 100/200, eh...might be close. Table image, reads, etc. (I'd still fold more times than push). Here, I pass on this for sure - I think you can wait for better. 

Hand#3

Dealt to HERO [ Td, Ts ]
gtrbx raises (300) to 300
HERO ?

The dreaded minraise. Occasionally you'll get hit w/AA-KK, just as often a "can't quite push" AJ/T. Either way, you're too short. This is a beauty - push!

Hand #4
150/300 TOURNEY TEXAS HOLD'EM GAME TABLE (NL) (TOURNAMENT 15056762) - MON AUG 22 02:30:23 EDT 2005

HERO ?

You gotta fold this one. You'll maintain some FE for at least another orbit.

Hand#5
100/200 TOURNEY TEXAS HOLD'EM GAME TABLE (NL) (TOURNAMENT 15051677) - SUN AUG 21 23:10:59 EDT 2005

Easy push - 6BB's...let it rip.

Hand#6
200/400 TOURNEY TEXAS HOLD'EM GAME TABLE (NL) (TOURNAMENT 15025574) - SUN AUG 21 02:37:10 EDT 2005

Chopstyln folds.
ing888 folds.
HERO ?

I'm pushing no doubt. You don't have the chips to raise, and you still have substantial FE. A great opportunity to gain chips from MP.

Well.....doesn't this just suck? Stop&Go IMO. Call and push ANY flop. Granted, it's not going to be as successful with two mongo-stacks, but neither will be pushing over the top. Hmmmmm, or would it? With SB limping here, I think he just might get out of usns's certain call to your push. Tough one. You push over here, you remove ANY chance of getting a fold on a flop-push. But that might be unlikely anyway given the odds, and considering we are 3-way. At least with the push PF, we stand a chance to get HU. Yeah, I guess I'd push PF.

edit: ok, not a S&G (acting 2nd)...but you get the drift
