fold pre and river

Almost definitely fold pre 100bb deep imo, A6 is the worst Ax. But whatever, we're suited, we're on the button, and it's an $8 redtext, so calling isn't too terrible just wouldn't get into the habit of it.

Flop fine, turn fine. River feels a lot like he got stubborn with jacks and is now betting for value, or he can have a bunch of better aces and doesn't want you to check back a worse ace (which is obviously what you're planning to do here with any ace that doesn't make two pair.) Could get equally stubborn and put him on Kd Qd and call, but I definitely fold here.
