Call the all-in?

Last 12 of £250 gtd. Is this a p ussy fold? If I lost the flip it would have left me as the shorty.

I just ran 66 into AA Blind vs Blind, trying to push back against table bully and busted out btw.  :(

I'd appreciate some advice as i usually run pretty deep (and sometimes cash or even take the odd one down) but often find myself in poor shape on the last couple of tables and having to get busy with not much.

    You can never call the AI as you only have Ace high and at best will be up against 9T/56 for SD + pair outs which makes you JUST 50%. However if he has any pair you're in trouble and drawing quite thin (and it's not a flip if most the money goes in when you have ~23%). TBH it looks to me like a 99/TT type hand played slowly pre but now just wants the money in.

    There is also an argument though for checking behind which could be best as that flop sucks for you to rep any high card hands other than big pairs and by checking you guarentee a free card and then if hit will probz be good. 

    Plus 3-way cbet less likely to get through, but on that line HU I'm cbetting almost 100%.

    I think the fold was pretty standard, you could have checked back after the flop for a free card but I suppose in some circumstances people would see you 600 bet as a value bet and fold. Well done for not getting too attached to your hand which turned out to be not so strong.

    Thanks again guys.

    I was pretty sure i'd done the right thing but a little voice was saying he's semi-bluffing and maybe i should take a flip here because "you should play aggressive near the bubble".

    As it happens I didn't get much further but at least i had some chips left to make a stand rather than being forced all in.

    calling all ins is not aggressive. Play aggresive by making other players make decisions for their stack on the bubble
