Preflop
Even though its only 7 hands into the tournament, BTN seem to be very active, and he have also lost around half his chips, so maybe he is a bit on tilt. For those reasons I dont think, he is there to fold, so if you 3-bet, there is likely little fold equity. And for that reason I am on board with just flatting here, even though I dont do much SB flatting in general.

Flop
Checking to the preflop raiser is never bad, but if you want to mix up your game and look for good spots to lead, then this looks like one of them. Its a low connected board, which is better for your range than BTNs, and a solid bet now can definitely get some better A high to fold, plus you are never that far behind, when you get action.

Turn
As played I dont like leading now, because you have lost equity with only one card to come, and its fairly likely, the K could have hit one of them. So as played I like checking again, and if someone bets, its basically a math decision, if you are getting good enough odds to draw.

River
Check-folding is of course the safest and lowest variance option. But with that being said, when nobody have shown any interest in the hand so far, and you likely dont have much showdown value, you should at least consider to go for a river bluff basically saying, that you have a 6 and rivered a straight.

You can either do that by betting out with a somewhat large size like 2/3 to 3/4 pot, or by check-raising in a situation like this, where BB goes for a small bet, and BTN fold. That betsize does not look strong, so it kind of begs to get attacked, and should he come over the top with a 3-bet, then you obviously have an easy fold.

Yes I think you should bet the flop 1/2 to 2/3 pot
Open raiser already checked so you have a big chance
to win the hand right here or improve on later streets.

Open raiser already checked

Hero was in SB so first to act on every street postflop.
