Everyone to the right to me are tight except the BB. I did not feel comfortable betting the turn here because usually when he calls the turn he has atleast a pair or a pocketpair.

Does that mean he's folding the turn w/o a pair? I would think that makes it a bet and take a free showdown unimproved.

EDIT: Especially since the turn paired the board. Less hands make pairs than usual.

I know many will disagree, but I think MP3 is a bit too early to raise to steal blinds w/A6s, even when table conditions are tight.

A6s is too good to fold there and oprn limping in LP sucks. Its close though, I would probably go as low as A5s and fold below that.

I wouldn't mind a fold. naked A's are a pain in the ass to play heads up. I raise it though because I like raising

I don't see any reason to play it like this against a loose and aggressive preflop player. there's a good chance he has no Q or J. you should be going to showdown with this hand

Would you mind folding if we were on the button? Where, if ever, do you think its stupid to fold this hand when folded to you in LP?
