5$ SNG 9man A2s

I`m not actually sure about turn but vs villain who do not seem like very solid I believe it`s better to bet it for value/protection. I like your turn betsize btw. As played villains river lead look really much valuebet. Maybe Q8-QJ of spades. I might call river a small blocker type bet but not this.

If I`m totally wrong here, I would like to read other comments too.

Turn will be close for sure to bet. I don’t think you have much value with top pair and no kicker. Also it’s difficult to said if he ever folds a draw here based on his stats.
I would check behind and give up on a decent river bet. As played is river a clear fold I think.

On the turn I don't think there are enough bluffs in his range v value hands so your not getting value when you bet. Calling 2.5x from the SB; against passive oppononents I wouldn't say they can have anything. Flatting in the small blind can be quite strong. KJ, QJ, QT, diamond draws are all behind, you lose to any other Ace on the turn and the river completed BDFD (very unlikely) but you only beat a bluff and there aren't enough to beat.

Say he stays in with all his gut shots, half of them got there. A3+ got there. Spades got there (dunno whether i'd consider spades as it is so rare). Our hand is a good bluff catcher on the river so I would check back turn and call river based on sizing. Not much we beat. I'd also tend to open to 2x from late position; allows you to steal cheaper and will disguise your stronger hands. If you only open 2.5x with top of range then players will catch on.

@WhiteWalker
On early stages I open 2.5x, later I start minraising. Of course I don't open 2.5x only with top hands.

Fair, I think that in LP, CO/BB we can get away with 2x a lot but 35bb deep I can see why you 2.5x it.

The guys have said enough. I think this is the best play here
