I just wonder how you go about std spots like these. In 6max CG I often find myself valuebetting vs worse A highs with the option of betting multiple streets vs underpairs on good board runouts but that might be spew in a 9max MTT?!
So I decided to check back (nothing worse calls, no better hands fold kinda thing) planning on calling a lot of turns but then again, I wasn't sure how often MTT players will bluff there in the early stages and this guy appeared solid over a tiny sample (at least he's very likely not a huge fish who is likely to bluff turns though). Additionally, probably one of the worst turns came because a lot of his broadways made TP and if he had a FD or sth, he might often try to barrel me on the river. How to play this?

he overlimped pre so more likely hes bad than good.

bet flop almost always ( why would AA,kk,jj 1010 chq here with low p/s ratio?)
bet most turns and rivers

as played its close between calling and folding

I think thats why betting is better as it makes our hand easier to play
and defines his hand
