It would depend to me on how often he has raised his SB and if you feel u have a decent amount of FE here. It is very likely you have the best hand albiet most likely by a slim margin. If you think he will pass on raising the button and u can raise the SB I would fold here. But I really think this is a shove since you do have SOME fe. It would really be nice to add those 600 chips without a confrontation and you can proceed to pressure some of the other slightly larger stacks. I generally find at my 5.50's on UB 5-6 handed there are often several passive players and one nutjob, if this guy is your maniac I think i'd take my shot here since he may not give you a chance to raise in LP which would b bad.

with your read, i would shove this vs villain all day.

Doubt you have much FE, but you probably have the best hand.

do i want an altercation right now?

Re: $6.50 A9 facing SB aggression
 

I think you definately want an altercation here b/c should he continue his aggression you may not find a better spot to get ur chips in with ne FE. he raises the button and u fold the SB and ur down to 930 and your finding it hard to find FE anywhere. Here you have a little fe, most likely the best hand and this shove would most always slow down the SB and give you opportunities to pwn those 3 midling stacks to your left. and if you were to let this one go and you have to run through the blinds once more you find urself on the button with just 630 chips assuming the blinds havent raised and u have to double just to get back to the 6 BBs u have now.

I agree that you pretty much have to push.

As has been alluded to already, not only will you only have 900 chips left once you post the SB next hand, you will also still have to act after aggressive villain who will most likely put chips into the pot first. If you folded in that spot, you can bet that in three hands time when you realise the blinds are coming round and are going to increase shortly, A9 would seem like the best hand in the world. Better to double 1200 chips than 900 chips, right?

6 BBs gotta be a shove, especially BvB, as for do you want an altercation, that's not really the question, w/6 bbs you are going to have an altercation, I'd have it here with a good hand against what looks like a steal

Simple ICM problem really, just run it as a call or get SNGWiz. He's never folding.
