What's the right move here?

11 players left, 10th and 11th get piddling cash prizes. 1st-9th get seats into the $215 6max Pot Limit tournament.

Edit: Stacks at other table are slightly larger with the exception of 2 shorter stacks who are around 18K each.

Blinds 1K/2K,

Table '10968374 13' Seat #3 is the button
Seat 1: 28354 in chips
Seat 2: 29424 in chips
Seat 3: 16560 in chips
Seat 4: 23160 in chips
Seat 5: 28349 in chips
Seat 6: 21607 in chips
Seat 4: posts small blind 1000
Seat 5: posts big blind 2000

Seat 6 (UTG) raises to 6000.

Seat 1 has 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] What to do?

After reading the rest of the thread and seeing you have AA, I personally think your 6000 chip raise here is awful. I also think it's important to know the stack sizes of the players at the other table. Given that you can survive 6-7 rounds at the current blind level (depending on if there is an ante or not) if there are 3+ shorter stacks than you, I really think your goal should be to fold into a seat, making this one of those rare occasions that it's correct to toss AA.

If you are one of the 3 shortest stacks than you should open push here (if this is NL, if it's PL you should raise the pot, on most sites I believe that would be 7000) and be HAPPY if everyone folds to you so you just pick up the blinds. You simply want to pick up enough chips to advance, you're not playing for first.

All that being said, the 99 made a moronic play IMO with the call. Depending on the stacks at the other table, there is a good possibility you should be tossing this though.
