What if the hand is instead K6sK6s?

Although I don't like low or middle pairs much, I do think K6sK6s is a better starting hand than K6sK9s.

But would I voluntarily play it if on the bubble in a tournament with a short stack?

No.

I'd almost surely see the flop with it for a single bet in a loose, passive ring game, even from mid-position.

However it wouldn't be a hand with which I'd voluntarily commit my chips during a tight period in a tournament. The risk of ruin is simply too great, in my humble opinion.
