maybe not. you get a call from every Jx, sometimes 6x, and the boats.
i think his range is to wide for this spot.

I don't feel like a shove looks very credible. Shoving argues that we have a boat or maybe QJ which most villains will perceive as unlikely given our flop check. Villain is repping a straight, but could also easily be bluffing given our flop check. I don't think we get him off of any straight+. The question becomes whether he is bluffing often enough to make our raise worthwhile. I tend to think villain has a value hand that wants to make us feel comfortable calling down by betting half pot. I would just fold, but it is an interesting idea for sure.

I think this is just a fold for me. I could get behind a bet if checked to, but here, I think you'd want to at least have a hand with some sort of blockers to jam with. 54s I think would be considerably better for example, blocking 65s, but still not good enough as 6 probably isn't calling a jam. I think hands like Q9/K9/A9/QT/KT/AT are better bluff candidates (although those with a T might be better calls), blocking some FH and Jx. Most hands with overcards (especially Qx) to the board probably make decent bluffs. Overall, I think you have too many better bluff candidates to bluff with this hand.

I am never 3betting this hand. If one wants to 3bet hands from BB or fold, this is a fold. JMO.

This is an easy fold. I wouldn't shove here because it's very possible that he thinks that he is stronger because of your check on flop.

fold. he called your 3!, checked to you on flop as PF raiser and then bet turn and river. Generally these actions are strong.
I dont think you have any blockers to anything; all you can possibly be repping here is trip 8s which is thin IMHO
Raising into this type of represented strength is a good way to light $ on fire - I've done it and have stopped.
