Bust vs Huge double up

Hello RIO community,

so I was playing this small field live MTT (around 30 players, €500 guaranteed). In this hand, I am CO w/ AdQh, as we are playing 7max, blins 1,500/3,000 ante300. I had around 80-90k stack in that point. Guy who likes to limp a lot (w/ stack around 150k), limps once again in MP and I decided to raise 8,000 just because of him. Everyone folds back to him and he calls. Flop is (as far as was my first thought was) pretty safe - Ah 6s 6h. MP checks, I cbet 7k and he snapshoves. After a pretty long tank I folded and he showed Kh9h.

Why did I fold: We had a pretty similar spot together before, when he limped, I opened and he called w/8d3d. Because of that, I put him on a few sixes, 67, 56, sometimes 66 or exactly A6.

On the other hand, flush draw is more possible in this particular spot and here is the main point of this topic. Do I want to flip for my tournament life w/ average stack against active player if I know he has exactly flush draw on the flop? I mean, I had Qh, plus another six would make a full house for me, so after all, maybe folding that hand was very very tight.

Opinions? Thanks a lot :) S.

i could check the flop to get more value on the turn and river but will never fold the shove on the flop with our stack.

you have to call here. You have to take these spots. If youre playing with correct brm then you'll definitely make more calling in these spots imo

Think this would be an easy call for you in the future, the only hand you have to be worried about is AK from my point of view and is highly unlikely due to the previous actions, you can remove a 6 as I think villain is likely to play it in slower pace.

i would call. but dont get why everyone saying a 6 plays slower. many players wud shove for protection, as weaker players luv doing that, and wud say that ace is definitely gunna call so wanna get money in while still ahead. Further, weak players are terrified of flush draws and thus are even more likely to jam with 6x then as well. i still think id call but yea
