I guess the better question to ask would be:
When your 66 does not hit on the flop but you know your oppenent Mr. Bigstack all inner also did not hit. Do you go all in with your marginal, albeit made hand?
Or do you check it and fold when he raises?

Again Katherine, you dont see the whole picture and not judging the situation properly IMHO.
in your speciffic situation- yes fold them now. you played them as a limper to hit and didnt and though you know your opponent did not also, the right play is to fold.
the correct play, and now try to look at the big picture is to fold them or push them PRE-FLOP bacause you cant afford to miss the flop from one hand and from the other: if you push them pre and get a call, you are creating two valuable things for yourself: 1. sparing from yourself/avoiding a tough decision on the board if you miss and 2. you are likely to get called and get a chance of 50%-50 40%-60% for your money to double up and live on or lose a race and reg to another tourney.
in these stages of the tourney, the "plays" are as important as the cards you are holding.
very good questions Jacks
