Default $12 FT 180, 66 facing an all in from shortstack and call from donkey..

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t3000 with t300 antes (7 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t23800)
UTG+1 (t9702)
MP1 (t104999)
Hero (t24222)
Button (t53372)
SB (t21949)
BB (t31956)

Preflop: Hero is in CO with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="red">UTG+1 raises to t9402 (All-in)</font>, MP1 calls t9402, Hero ...

MP1 is a complete and utter donkey who hits every card under the sun and no way is folding if I push. UTG+1 is on like A2+/22+/broadway/K7+/Q9/and maybe J9/T9/98...

If your read is correct then a shove would be +Ev I think. However, your read has to be pretty damn correct a very high percentage of the time to make it +Ev. If your that sure then I am behind a push.

I like folding here. You're likely +cEV but you can find a better spot.

If we are +cEV why would we wait for a better spot, especially in a turbo where blinds get up so quickly and it very quickly becomes a donkfest with lots of all in's. If we win this pot then we will have quite a few chips to work with and could very well catapult(sp) us to the top three.

I think u have to get it in here. You have 33% equity in the main pot if you are against two unparied hands (4 overcards) 43% if they share an overcard. The side pot is worth 30K as well. You only have 8BBs to start the hand, so u can't pass this opp to almost triple up.

I think a fold, slight +cEV might not be +$EV here and sometimes you are totally hosed.

Can you explain the logic and thought process in this play?

Also the guy is a massive donkey like betting into a dry sidepot with no hand donkey.
