Middle stage of tournament. Recently took a bad beat and got caught bluffing so getting low on chips now. Folds to you in cutoff with 6,6 and ~20 bb. You raise 2.5x bb. Folds to LAG BB who raises to half your stack.
Wouldn't r/f 66 for 20bb from the CO. Jamming is obviously always printing, but if you decide to open you shouldn't really be folding. Treat it as an effective all in in this case.

Raise folding is pretty terrible here. Don't let your stack dwindle to 20 bigs....open shove is by far the best option if you're going to play the hand. If you run into a bigger paid whatacoolerbro
I didn't like the 2.5x raise but after the reraise you either fold to find a better spot since your flipping most of the time here against anything he has and you may even be dominated.
OR
turn your hand into a monster and hope he folds.. Reraise not all-in but enough to show your stack committed and he may see this as a weak or strong play.
I personally see keeping 30% chips behind or less as a weak holding in MTT and a strong holding in cash game but that opponent may not have seen it that way.
Wow. R/f is awful given dynamics. Evaluating whether to r/c or open rip is obv dependent on what we want to induce for whatever reason. Lighter calls, or lighter 3!
