Home game. Started with 22 players, currently down to 2 tables of 6 each. Top 4 places pay. I have T4900. Villain in this case is table chipleader with around T9000. Other stacks are slightly higher or lower than mine. Blinds are 400/800, but are going up to 600/1200 in next 2 or 3 hands. Villain is a solid thinking player who has used his big stack to his advantage and has played fairly aggressively once he got the chip lead.
Villain open-raises UTG to 2000. I am next to act with pocket 6's. Fold, call or push?

FOLD
Do you really think that the Villain is folding any kind of a hand here getting 2:1? He'll make a relucant call with his QTo and a lot of other hands that we don't want to see, including overpairs and other good hands. There's also still the issue of 4 players left to be heard from. Pushing here is straight gambling.

The question really is taking the chance now, or taking a worse chance later? Remember, blinds are going up in the next 2 or 3 hands. Hero's stack will be completely unmanagable after that point. Everyone will call because his stack will be too short. While I'd rather be 1st in here, I think you have to take your stand now.
