easy fold?
 
Pokerstars 11+rebuys last night. 22 left out of 1360 or so. blinds 10k, 20k with 1k antes. hero with 200 UTG+1. Blinds going up in a couple of minutes. UTG bigstack with 800K behind raises to 60K. I see pocket 6's. Easy fold right?

That's what I thought after thinking it through. While in battle, however, I reraised all-in and he called with a,k.

Seems like an easy fold. Only 4 hands i want to call.

Your thoughts?

I believe you had 200k, not 200, and that's an easy, easy fold. In fact, I'd fold even if he did. No need to play a small pair in EP unless you're way down on chips.

How many people at the table? How loose has the bigstack been? What hands have you seen of his? Do you think there is any chance he will fold?

At a full table I probably drop it. If it's short handed and he's been raising a lot I might push. If he were in later position I would definitly push.

Since he is UTG I figure he has a decent hand that won't fold to my push. At best I am 50/50 here and at worst dominated. At a short handed table there is a chance he could have a smaller pair but I wouldn't count on it. I think I fold here most of the time.

I would have been happy to push and see AK and have the chance to double up.

Either 7 or 8, since there are 22 left.

Doesn't really matter. Since there are still 5 or 6 left to act pushing with 66 is way too dangerous.

He has a huge stack and can take risks. In fact, he probably has a huge stack BECAUSE he's taking risks. He's getting good enough odds to call almost with any two.
