Re: How bad did I play this?
Fold preflop, end of hand.
You have a speculative drawing hand (65s). You're only chance of winning (realistically) is making a flush or a straight, which you usually won't.
With a speculative hand you want to be playing in a full handed pot (many players). A straight or flush is a powerful hand and will usually win.
You are playing a short game, you will not have the proper odds to chase any draws you get (IF you get them, which you also probably won't).
You also cold called* which is a big no no (I'm no 6 max expert but cold calling with 65s isn't exactly great in 6 max probably).
You also were "guessing" the blinds would come along passively, and it was reraised (6 max players are aggressive, so you see more reraising by the blinds I'd imagine), so now you're stuck playing a speculative hand for 3 bets.
Nice hand though, straight flushes are fun.
* he didn't cold call, he had posted already.
