Early in an I think 180 MTT, non-turbo. Flop I check with the intention to check-call, after it is checked trough on the flop I bet to get some value from Q and diamonds. Is this an easy bet/fold on the turn since BB has a ton of 5x in his range, or can I call because he might also be raising FD's and other Ax hands? No reads / significant stats on Villain.

Well B.B. can have pretty much anything. Unlikely to have better top pair, so you have the nuts except for 5s. I would call and try and keep pot as small as you can. It does smell a lot like 5.

Raise or fold pre, completing with A6 is bad. It plays terribly multiway.

Raising with sufficient fold equity is indeed the superior play I think, thanks. However, in case you don't have enough FE, would you really prefer to fold it? I mean isn't A6o a little bit too strong with such great pot odds?

I would fold. This is a limped multiway pot in a low limit tourney where Villains can have pretty much anything. Their ranges are wide: some call any ace, any suiteds, any offsuit connector...etc. The chance that someone has a 5 is increased when the pot is limped and multiway.

I fold here.
