Started playing on Stars and Zoom seems a lot of fun... Anyway, here is a hand. Not sure about the river. Folding seems way too weak, calling seems a bit meh, but raising a bit over the top since I doubt I will fold out too many value hands.

Pot Limit Omaha $0.02/$0.05
PokerStars
6 players
Formatted by pokercopilot.com: Poker HUD for Mac and Windows

Stacks:
UTG - UTG ($20.60)
MP - MP ($3.18)
CO - CO ($5.18)
BTN - BTN ($8.35)
SB - Hero ($7.02)
BB - BB ($4.74)

Preflop: ($0.07, 6 players) Hero is SB with A

4 folds, Hero raises to $0.15, BB calls $0.10

Flop: 5

($0.30, 2 players)
Hero bets $0.29, BB calls $0.29

Turn: K

($0.88, 2 players)
Hero bets $0.60, BB calls $0.60

River: 6

($2.08, 2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $2.00

Fold, catch the bluff or turn our hand into a bluff?

Third option is the worst,he is basically saying he has a straight or air.3 4 is possible,but

also tjqx type hands that are still 1 pair on river and now bluff.Having QQ i would be closer to fold this,but calling is not bad play.

Bet flop smaller. Your sizing is going to fold out most things other than two pair, sets and good straight draws.

I fold river. I generally don't bluff catch river with one pair hands.

Don't bluff raise river you don't have any good card removal.

Villain can (or should) bluff this river a decent amount as it's more likely to improve his range than yours but often enough villains will be unbalanced betting this river, choosing to check a lot of 2p or worse combos, give up with air and value bet like top2+ or perhaps even tighter than that.

With card removal and exploitative reasons above you can fold here and not lose any sleep over it. You'll also have some better bluff catchers in your range (meaning both strength of hand and additional card removal to help with calling)
