Default Bigstack with small pair on the bubble..what to do?

NL Texas Hold'em $10 Buy-in + $1
Level:6 Blinds(100/200) -
Seat 3 is the button
Total number of players : 5
Seat 7: ygtbykt ( $2880 )
Seat 10: smk67 ( $1295 )
Seat 4: nitroustk ( $1260 )
Seat 3: rct9999 ( $1100 )
Seat 6: cbass1999 ( $1465 )
Trny:14690359 Level:6
Blinds(100/200)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to ygtbykt [ 6c 6d ]
ygtbykt ?


Here is how I played it and what happened;
I raised to 2.5XBB (making t500), rct9999 re-raised all-in and I called another t600. Is this an insta-call after he moves all-in since I am getting 3-1 pot odds?

Also what would you have done here? Open-push? Fold? Call? Or does my play seems OK to you?

I fold this since I'm UTG.
Since this is a 11 I can easily see hands such as QJs and 77 pushing over the top of a standard 2.5BB steal raise.

If I'm playing this I'm openpushing though.

Wouldnt that make you the BB? If i had reads as them being weak tights i would def push here if you were gonna wind up calling the buttons all in after you raised anyway. I think you failed to mention the button had limped?

SB: nitroustk
BB: cbass1999
UTG: ygtbykt
CO: smk67
Button: rct9999

So I was UTG and as a result there were no limpers..
Thanks for the replys

While your stack is fine to raise 2.5x BB, no one else has more than 7x, which means you're getting very good odds on calling here.

I think I push preflop, because you're not playing with your full stack right now, you're only playing with the stack of your biggest opponent, cbass, and he doesn't enough BB to raise 2.5x BB.
