  Snap call. A larger pair would prob. just call and let you hang yourself on flop. My guess would be villain holds a pair 7-9 or maybe AQ. I would say 80% of the time your ahead here.

  Don't forget the the CO just smooth-called a raise and reraise cold, and has a stack only slightly smaller than our own (we cover both other opponents who shoved comfortably)

  It's rush poker people overplay hands and try to steal I shove. We are only behind 3 hands and I'm willing to gamble.

  I'd shove, you already represented strength with your re-raise, that will hopefully get the CO to fold, they probably have a small pair. Hopefully the BTN and the UTG raiser both have aces in their hand (AJ or AK) , making it more likely for your hand to hold up.

  Interesting, I figured I was at best coin-flipping in this spot, and I was really concerned about the CO who smooth-called two raises cold, so I folded and then so did the CO, doh!
  
  UTG+1 raises to $4.95 all in, 2 folds
  
  Flop: ($4.68) Q 6 6
  
  Turn: ($4.68) J
  
  River: ($4.68) 9
  
  Final Pot: $4.68
  UTG+1 shows K A (a pair of Sixes)
  BTN shows 4 A (a pair of Sixes)
  UTG+1 wins $0.75
  UTG+1 wins $3.62
  (Rake: $0.31)
  
  
  I'm ok with my fold, I figured UTG+1 at worst was shoving something like AK where I was in a coin-flip, which I thought was my best case scenerio

  I think you made the right by folding.

  What about 97 bb's?  Because that's the CO's stack and he cold-called two raises and is still left to act after us....

  Tough spot, but I think at best you are coin-flipping here. Tough fold, disciplined fold.
