PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

UTG (t46070)
UTG+1 (t19007)
MP1 (t20450)
MP2 (t4035)
CO (t30840)
Button (t24195)
SB (t13217)
Hero (t11897)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls t600, 5 folds, SB raises to t13167, Hero???

17 left, Average stack is ~t15000
UTG has been limping alot, and SB is very tight and passive, but I'm reasonably sure he doesnt have a large pair.

two questions:

1. if SB is tight and passive, what range of hands do you think he'd "risk his tournament life" with?

2. can you really feel confident that SB isn't pushing 77-TT? you don't need a "big pair" to have a pair of sixes crushed.

as the saying goes, you're a coin flip at best and very likely crushed.

I guess I realized that... as I was typing. Sometimes my agression gets the best of me.

I saw the 20+ BB raise, and said "he wants NO action", and promptly gave it to him. River was unkind.

Thanks for you input
