pgy70 (UTG): 76,218 (85 bb)
Rilofl (UTG+1): 62,810 (70 bb)
rodrigoruas (MP): 36,144 (40 bb)
OldOrthodox (MP+1): 2,026 (2 bb)
alextheteacher (LP): 42,856 (48 bb)
Noisy_boy_01 (CO): 8,981 (10 bb)
pappajo3 (BU): 94,700 (105 bb)
AAKKQQ37 (SB): 12,100 (13 bb)
buiu AAA (BB): 80,361 (89 bb)

Pre-Flop: (2,610) Hero (pappajo3) is BTN with 6 5
pgy70 (UTG) raises to 2,250, Rilofl (UTG+1) calls 2,250, rodrigoruas (MP) calls 2,250, 1 fold, alextheteacher (LP) calls 2,250, Noisy_boy_01 (CO) calls 2,250, pappajo3 (BU) calls 2,250, 1 fold, buiu AAA (BB) calls 1,350

Flop: (17,460) 2 5 6 (7 players)
buiu AAA (BB) checks, pgy70 (UTG) checks, Rilofl (UTG+1) bets 1,800, rodrigoruas (MP) folds, alextheteacher (LP) calls 1,800, Noisy_boy_01 (CO) raises to 6,591 (all-in), pappajo3 (BU) raises to 19,800, 2 players fold, Rilofl (UTG+1) calls 18,000, alextheteacher (LP) folds

Turn: (65,451) 4 (3 players, 1 all-in)
Rilofl (UTG+1) checks, pappajo3 (BU) bets 24,300, Rilofl (UTG+1) raises to 40,620 (all-in), pappajo3 (BU) calls 16,320

River: (146,691) 4 (3 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: 146,691

My questions:
1. Is it ok to play a suited connector in this spot to see a flop?
2. On the flop i try to isolate shorty by 4-betting, is it better to push here?
3. On the turn i was pretty confident i had the best hand. I was trying to make him push, how is my betsizing? Or would it be better to push myself?

1. Yes!

2. I dont mind your sizing, but we should go larger here. Id size it around 24-27k.

3.Better to just shove yourself. But a very minor mistake.

I agree! I think a larger raise would thin out some very dangerous draws. If you were looking to isolate, that would have been I would have taken.

1. Perfect spot for a call with suited connectors here, great pot odds, position, and a large stack. This would be a bad fold imo.

2. Isolating the short stack is a good idea, but with 30BB already in the pot when its your turn to act I think you can justify a shove here especially with the weak 2BB raise and call in front of you, your hand is best most of the time here and im ok getting my money in against an over pair or Ax of spades at this point in the hand.

3. I may consider checking behind on that turn, you are right that you have the best hand most of the time in this spot but the turn is a bad card for you considering previous action. I wouldnt mind seeing a river and perhaps folding to a big bet if a spade or straight connector fall, or the board pairs. That may be a conservative approach but with the stack you have you can afford to sit back and let this hand play out, see all hands and gain more information moving forward.
