In reality I think calling off 1/4 of your chips with 6 high isn't very good. Give that bb the K8s from your previous hand and it becomes closer, his hand is much better than average. Or give him 300 chips and it's not as bad either.
Yeah, you have to look at how many chips you have as well and how it is going to affect your chances of winning the tournament.
I will sometimes try to suck someone out if I have the most chips at the table and they push an amount that isn't going to make a huge difference in whether or not I am going to win.
For example.
I play the 10 $11 buy ins at party. They start at 2,000 in chips.
Lets say there are 5 people left. I have 7,000 in chips. I have quite a bit more than anyone else at this point.
I'm sitting in BB and UTG raises all in. He has 800 in chips (blinds are at 200).
In this situation, I will call every time if no-one else does.
In your situation, I would suggest not calling.
What were the blinds at?
Was the other guy with 100 fairly short stacked compared to everyone else?
I say give him the blinds and wait until someone has a hand to knock him out, especially if he is tight. If the blinds are 5 or higher at this point, he might have just a random hand, but 6 high in a heads up situation is crap. What is your goal in that situation? To hit a straight on the flop? It's not worth it to call with 6 high when he probably has at least T high.
He doesn't have absolute crap if he's tight either. He decided to put all of his chips in with this hand, so you can give him the upper side of the starting hand side, and in a heads up situation, 56os is the lower side.
So, yeah, I say don't call in that situation. Save your chips and wait for a better time to knock him out.
