you're exactly the type of players i love when i'm at the final table in last place. the table sheriffs that need to show the aggressive stacks they can't be pushed around. can't tell you how many ladder jumps from 9/9 or 8/8 to top 5 spots i've made just by watching mid stacks clash with big stacks in unnecessary spots. ez money.
this is such a bad pay for a number of reasons. it's icm suicide. you have 2 much shorter stacks than you and you're slightly ahead of another stack, putting you in 3/6 spot. you have a player with < 5 bbs at the table. why are you bluff jamming 67o with a 12 bb stack? it makes no sense.
think of it this way, you just bust out of the final table where you had a good chance at locking down 3rd place or, at a minimum, at least take 4th place with 2 very short stacks...and you took 6th with 67o. just not worth it.
do i think jamming here is bad against an aggressive villain? no. there are plenty of hands you can easily jam with and, yes, you still run the risk of busting out in 6th, but you'll also give yourself much better equity to win as well. 67o vs j9o, you still have ~35-40% equity to win, which puts villain a close equity edge spot but the problem is, you're doing this with an opponent that has as low as <5 bbs. there is no need to put mtt life at risk on the final table in close over/under equity spots when you have higher payouts locked in.
if you are going to jam here, i think it's better to pick hands that block co's openers. hands like a10s or ajo block some jx and ax combinations. hands like ak and aq are also really good hands to jam, and i would be 3betting with qq+.
and for the villain, although the call with j9o is a bit on the loose side, there is no icm risk for them. if they win, they're up 150k and if they lose, they still have 400k. if you lose, you're out in 6th. so, i'm not hating the villain's call as much as i dislike your jam with 67o. you're putting yourself more at risk than villain is and villain could easily have a much stronger holding in this spot. if they're opening with j9o, then j10s+ is in their range, as are mid pairs 77+, and suited ace hands, etc. 67o never ahead here.
to be honest, because of icm, i'm probably folding small pairs, weak broadways, and small suited aces. i think 22-55 i fold. 66+, i jam, hands like qjo, k10s, i fold, and a2s-a8s, i probably fold.
