FYI, You're going to get a bunch of people saying that it's bad etiquette to post table names instead of SB, BB, UTG, etc.

In this hand, you're ahead on the river often enough to call but not often enough to 3-bet IMO.

I agree. This is A5 or A3 or the like fairly often, but not often enough to offset the times it's a 6.

I'm not worried about the donk calling two cold with his two cards. The thought of villain limping UTG+1 with a hand containing a deuce or six is usually a happy one, but that sort of play will also lead to gut-wrenching suckouts.

Overcall to close the action and hope he has two pair or played his pair of aces very strangely and stupidly.
