What do you do?
 

You are playing a tournament at a table of eight people and are the big blind (blinds are 200/400) with 2400 left (after posting the big blind) from a starting stack of 3600.

Everyone limps in so there is now 3200 in the pot and it is your turn to act. You look at your cards and you have pocket 6s.

What do you do?

The above is the exact situation I found myself in and I am trying to see if I played it the correct way. After this post has been up for a while (say three days), I will come back, tell what I did, give it some more time for responses to my actions, and then reveal the final result of the hand.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

I push unless I have some read someone in the pot is loose/passive or tricky enough to try to induce a squeeze. But even then I will probably push because there is so much in the pot and how likely your push will be to get everyone to fold

Shove all day. You're too short to do anything but push.

Can't see stack sizes or anything, but I don't think there's any fold equity with the dead money that'll be in the pot.

Sorry you lost.

Re: What do you do?
 

I think you have almost no fold equity. Anyone behind you is getting nearly 2-1 on their money so just hope you end up in a race situation.

Agree. Punish those limpers!

Re: What do you do?
 

I am going to go head and tell you what I did and my reasoning. I want to see if my reasoning was sound.

I did not feel that I could raise the standard amount without being pot committed as that would be 1200 and half my remaining stack. Also, raising that amount into a 3200 chip pot would motivate someone to call.

I did not feel I could check with the entire table in the hand as I only had 6s so with that many people someone was sure to hit a higher pair.

Therefore I went all-in. If people were going to play, I was going to make them pay. Also, I felt that by going all in, I would whittle down the field.

I will go on and tell you what happened. I ended up getting multiple callers, hitting a set on the flop, and taking down a nice pot.

But the results don't matter. It is the thinking that I did before hand that matters.
