I think a push here is very marginal. A fold may be in order but a stop n go might also be a good play against a loose Pre flop Villian.

A stop and go is used when you're OOP, so if he had raised from the Button you could call from the blinds and open shove the flop. That said, even if it were possible to stop and go here, I think it's a terrible idea since you'd fold very few hands you're not already ahead of with a stop and go.

I'd just fold. You're in good relative position to pick on the two smaller stacks' blinds.

Fold here for me, there will be plenty of opportunities to push yourself when you are the small blind or when you pick up a good hand in other positions. Remember, even bullys get good hands and A6 is no hand to go to war with and the situation is not getting desperate yet.

How big of a bully is he? If he's raising my sb a lot I will just shove it back in his face since you do have some decent FE considering his opening range is wide, although he would have to be pretty bad to raise/fold, but that's probably the case.

I would fold even though he has rasied from SB previous rounds. A6 is a bad hand.
