I'm interested to know whether or not it's worth playing for stacks here.
Oh, and this is full table at Empire, not party (bonus whoring some more) - and it's 10 handed, not 6 - the converter has fouled things up a little, but there's enough there to get the gist of it.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

CO ($21.19)
Button ($40.05)
SB ($25.52)
Hero ($24.65)
UTG ($24.54)
MP ($24.75)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5, 6. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
2 folds, CO calls $0.25, 2 folds, Hero checks.

Flop: ($0.60) T, 5, 6 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.5, CO raises to $1, Hero raises to $3, color=#CC3333] CO raises to $20 (all-in)[/color],

Results to follow.

I think its a fold unless hes one of those who try to get cute with AA. He dont think he has AT, JJ, QQ. Could be KK or AA I suppose but it would be a weird way to do it. I think its a fold. Is he loose/tight/aggressive/passive/tricky/straightforward?
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

Oops - forgot to post no reads (the usual sad answer) - I just started playing at Empire today. I had pretty much just sat down, and this player left the table 2 hands later.

ATd would be a favorite, Axd would not....ATd is fairly likely though
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

Yeah it could be Tdxd, in which case you're even money. However it could also be 55 or 66.. I think you have to lay it down. No sense risking a buyin when you only have $3 invested so far and no read to back up your play.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

If empire is anywhere near as tight as it used to be, I lay this down. 99% of the time the average nut camping whore would have a set and you'd be beat.

As it turns out...though the rumours are that Empire is super tight nowadays...these rumours are completely unfounded from what I have discovered. It's damn near as fishy as Pacific so far. Unfortunately they don't seem to be calling down my great hands as much and only sucking out - negative variance be damned :P

Anyhow, I didn't see an overpair going at it like this preflop, nor TT - but I have seen a few wacky hands where 55 or 66 just happen to be there, as unlikely as that is. And of course top pair flush draw aggro player would go at it this way.

I didn't like my odds here, and I made what I considered to be not such a bad laydown in most general situations.

Villain showed KT offsuit and I quickly noted him for vastly overplaying one pair hands in a limped pot before he bailed.

Thanks for the positively reinforcing comments all.

I put him on an over-pair, flush draw or top pair and push this every time.

I can understand that position as well. It was actually a bit of a tough laydown for me due to all the donkish play I've been witnessing at Empire today.

It's probably the bankroll baby in me that took over.

people often mistake tight for good. i personally think people on pokerstars play tighter than people on party, however to me they are every bit as bad.
i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch
