I would mostly checkbehind the flop here. Nothing you beat will call here and all pocket pairs and AJs/AJo call. As played, turn and river are fine imo.

6 max players are eager to call, because of so many over agro players there they call a bit too light, especially against aggressive lines, also MP has no full stack meaning he is more likely than not to be closer of fish than shark. He could call TJ for example here quite easily, because if he made a mistake to call it OTT so little money left, villain can't really fold it anymore.

Is there any argument for checking turn and river and allowing villain to bet all of his weaker Ax and Jx? it seems to me like he might bet with a wider range when checked to on turn and river than the range he calls with when triple barreled? like he definitely calls Ax and might or might not call with Jx, but i feel like AJ make up a larger percent of his calling range than his betting range?

IDK, not a cash game player. I would check turn, but that might just because im an MTT player primarily

We're in position, villain has already checked.

Lots of cold feet about stacking TPTK when the SPR is small.

IMO, your pre flop action is fine. I'm getting more aligned with a 1/2 pot bet on the river with a flush draw on board as I'm finding that you get more people to chase that flush, and when it misses they give up on the river, although with you only having ace high on the flop, I might be tempted to bet bigger. A 33/21 player might think you missed and check-raise you, putting you in an awkward spot, so it ultimately comes down with what your comfort is with calling a raise there. If you are, then your bet size could be bigger.

Turn I think most of the time you're not getting called. I tend to think this is a better checking spot because you'll give them more options to bluff the river with. The ace could be a scare card if they think you missed the flop, you now all of a sudden hit and could shut action down.

Considering in this case they call, the river is a no-brainer. Your SPR (Stack Relative to Pot) is less then 1, meaning you have little to no fold equity with a pot bet, and as such they'll have odds to call almost any bet - they get over 4-1 with that river call, so the all in is almost automatic in my opinion.

The real discussion is the turn - I can definitely make an argument to check vs bet there.

What did they show down?

Bigger bet on the flop I feel is needed here. Turn I agree with CRStals, here is an argument for checking, as now you're telling them you most likely have a flush draw or Jx
