A6 off PFR without antes I'm not sure is the line I would take, suited for sure I would – offsuit depends on Fold to Steal ranges of Blinds and VPIP of Button, if you are likely to get called A6 off doesn't play that well IMO. With antes in play it's a different story.

As played the flop and turn bets look ok, you could consider checking the turn to keep the pot smaller to get to showdown  and increase the likelihood of a bluff on a blank river, but I don't hate the turn bet.

River screams of a bluff at first glance but JQ just made a st8, A9 which might have called the flop bet just made 2 pair – some of it depends on any known history you have on the villain, but I like to find a fold here most of the time.

I would fold pre.

 

As played, when he calls the flop he has to have at least a draw or a pair. Once you bet the turn, he folds all the one pair hands that you beat.

 

That leaves draws and hands that have you beat. When he shoves the river, I think he probably has two pair or better. Most rec players are not bluff shoving the river after all the strength you have shown and all you have at this point is a bluff catcher. I would fold the river for sure.

Thanks for replies, but antes were in play t40/t80 Blinds + t10 . And the opponents were rather weak. In retrospect I think the river is a fold.

im not really sure about this one i play this tourny quite often and obviously it is a pretty soft tourny with many terrible players (prob me included lol) but i think a lot of time you will be beat here unless it is the busted flush draw, personally i dont really like playing hands like a60 even in position with very small ante. Having said this it never fails to amaze me what some guys are shoving in this spot sometimes. Its possible he called with some garbage pre and hit a pair and called turn trying to hit two pair or trips missed and bluffed river realising his second/third pair no good, equally you could be crushed.

 

Like someone said i think i prefer checking the turn not to bloat pot by betting turn your putting yourself in difficult spot on river in bloated pot. Players obv check call with sets on some boards hoping opponent has aq/ak and hits top pair on turn so they can try and stack them.
