PokerStars - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 84.6 BB
UTG: 132 BB
MP: 152.4 BB
Hero (CO): 101 BB
BTN: 101.4 BB
SB: 74.6 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has A

fold, fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, BTN calls 3 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (7.4 BB, 2 players) 3

Hero bets 3 BB, BTN calls 3 BB

Turn: (13.4 BB, 2 players) 9

Hero bets 8 BB, BTN raises to 26 BB, Hero calls 18 BB

River: (65.4 BB, 2 players) K

Hero checks, BTN bets 69.4 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 69 BB and is all-in

This hand looks super standard by hitting my 2 pair on the river but I must admit I didn't really feel too comfortable on the turn. My question here is what to do if river is a brick? Or should I just shove turn?

I'm struggling to find many bluffs in villain's range. There aren't many value hands in his range either and obviously I now beat AJ, A9 and A3. Would river call be mandatory with just TPTK?

Hello
Why do you want to shove turn?
To my mind calling on the turn is theoretically ok even if you are behind most of the time
I fold if he shoves on a river brick

in my experience, most 6m micro players have a tell in that, they almost never xr flop or turn and continue, as a bluff. thus we can profitably overfold in these spots, based purely on their action (assuming spr isnt crazy low)

the moment youre vs a good player who has a balanced range and can turn up with bluffs, its different and you really can't get away from tptk on some runouts.

fyi i probably overbetting turn after 1/3 flop cb
