I've noticed you've made a number of threads in a row. In this thread, you have no reads on the villain, haven't given the positions of each player, and haven't told us why you are playing with only 24BB.

My suggestion would be to go back to each thread and answer at least these questions first before expecting any decent help.

This one is easy because you should have folded preflop.

I agree with Venice. You have 16 BBs on the flop. You cant do anything C bet or anything. Fold preflop. If you had a bigger stack yes you could c-bet but you cant do anything here.

Gotta be much bigger stack and have a passive table if I am correct to even open A6s from MP, correct me if I am wrong?

We can flat with A6s in the hopes of flopping gin, the direct odds are 6 limpers but the implied odds are more.

We can C-bet the flop heads up, which could have been our plan when we made it 40 to go, and the board was not as wet as it was on the turn.

Flatting pre burns off less of our stack in the long run because we are not flopping gin that often, and we should have thought about "what if Villain check-raises us later in the hand" before we made it $40 to go.

$40 looks small with 6 limpers already in.

bet like $30 at it. it's a big move for him to check-raise bluff here imo.

That is, of course, after what Venice and everybody else is saying about not being in this spot w this stack size ever

This. Or fold.

Raising to any amount that's not a shove is terrible.

I could be wrong, but I believe the OP meant to imply that the VILLAIN had a $120 stack, not that he did. Of course that doesn't tell us anything about what his stack was or any of the other info we need, but I don't think he meant he had the short stack.

Assuming ~100bb stack, overlimping here is usually good. Raising if also good if you are at a passive table where you will often win the limps or get to the flop heads up in position. As played I am never betting on any street. The board is way too wet and nearly anything the villain called with pre-flop can find something to call with on this board.

Sorry should be a little clearer Stacks where that size as the villain was short stacked
The table was very loose passive in hind sight should probably just limp or fold and not try to get fancy
