PokerStars - $0.02 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

BTN: $2.34 (117 bb)
SB: $3.06 (153 bb)
BB: $2.00 (100 bb)
UTG: $2.11 (105.5 bb)
Hero (MP): $2.21 (110.5 bb)
CO: $0.67 (33.5 bb)

SB posts $0.01, BB posts $0.02

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has 6 6
UTG raises to $0.06, Hero calls $0.06, CO raises to $0.10, 2 folds, BB calls $0.08, UTG calls $0.04, Hero raises to $2.21 and is all-in, ...

UTG opens and is reasonable. I call, because CO and BTN are weaker players and I don't mind playing 66 multiway for setvalue.
CO min3bets, BB and UTG both just call.
BB and UTG both seem to have weaker holdings that don't want to play a big pot preflop and CO is only 30 BB deep. If they had strong holdings, they could easily iso CO.
I could simple call for setvalue, but I think if I shove the chance of BB and UTG folding is extremly high. Plus I don't mind CO folding or calling with only 30 BB + the additional dead money from BB/UTG.

What is your opinion?

It's spew. Especially at NL 2. Very high variance play. You say you dont mind playing 66 multiway for set value... well then play it for set value.

Think about it. If you had a hand to stack off, you would have definitely 3bet preflop. Obviously CO is a fish with 33BB and he already put 5 of them in the pot. I would say you do not have any fold equity and you are never good when called (and you will be called a lot). Best is coin flip but in general this move is -EV.

If you wanna gamble its fine and fun to play it this way. If you want to make the right decisions, just call preflop and wait for a 6
