The following hand is not played optimally, as it debatable if I should limp UTG+1 or just fold. The the flop I should have lead, but I hoped someone getting fancy.

But my main concern is whether I could have folded the raise on the river, but as only the nine got me beat it was hard to fold.

I really don't like the limp. 6 max games at these limits, I don't think you should be limping anything at all. If you're going to play the hand make a 3x raise preflop.

People are going to bully you around a lot if you limp from early position (and limp reraising just gives away your hand pretty much always).

I really don't like this as a starting hand. Turn a heart into a club and you can definitely start raising this hand.

So the flop comes, there are 2 diamonds showing and you have mid position. 2 people check and for some reason you check behind. Whilst I can understand there are not that many bad turn cards for you (in that if nobody has the other ace, you are guaranteed the pot pretty much) , you have to bet this flop.

I think you're asking too much to expect lalalaurens to cbet this flop after getting 4 callers preflop. I think it's obvious that someone is going to have an ace here so a cbet with any hand that doesn't have an ace in feels like throwing money away (the only exception to this is holding KK).

So a donk is best here, all you can do is hope someone overplays KK with diamonds on the flop or indeed the other ace is out there. You can stab weak at the flop if you think it will get a check raise off another ace, at which point it is obviously an easy shove. But with stack sizes the way they are, when you hit a full house you should be looking to win a full buy in with the hand and that involves building the pot a little on the flop.

Turn: Anyone who will call $15 will call $20 as well since I only expect you to get action from the other ace, or a nut flush.

River sucks, but what can you do? It's possible you're against another A6 on the river trying to get you off a chop.
