What to do from SB with 66

5 Left in 25$ tourney

5th pays 741, 1st pays 3200

I am in SB with 66 with 230k stack

UTG Raises to 30k. He has 250k stack

2 to his left fold. (140k and 130k stacks)

I call from SB.

BB Folds(80k stack)

Flop is 4 5 7.

I bet 30k, he raises to 90k.

I just smooth call.

Turn A

He shoves me in.

In this spot I folded. I thought he hit the ace. In the end it was a terrible play by me.
I show 66 and he shows 55 for a set.

What would you do in my position? Was talking to my buddy and he suggested that I just fold it pre and pick a better spot. Looking back it was the correct play.

The only other play I see here is 3-betting the flop. Apparently that would've been a bad idea, so I think you played it well.

How is this not a PF shove 5 handed?  He is UTG with the big stack, I know I suck and all, but is this not an auto shove?  Maybe 'tis why I suck. Big Smile

 I dunno why you only flat called the 90k raise on the flop.  Shove and you may get him off the hand, if not with 66 on 457 flop you have a bunch of draws (either str8 draws or a set).  I think yer right on the read of him hitting tha pair of Aces.  From looking into your opponents PF betting, more then likely holding AK, AQ, AJ or perhaps TT,JJ.  Other then the 60k smooth call, you played the hand fine.
