Thought I would get some feedback on this one coz its a bit odd.

No read on villan, I had not been on this table long.

I like the call on the flop, just to be sure the other 2 are folding.

On the turn I think I should push, but maybe he just folds.

Dont like my river bet, with the A its easy to put me on AA so I am probably only going to get called by a house,
if I get raised I am calling so its probably -EV to bet here.

If I knew he was a rock or a checkraiser I would check, but maybe there is some value in hoping he cant fold a straight for a small bet ?

Played perfectly. You can raise the flop sometimes.

Your line looks fine. I dont raise turn because you only fold out hands that you beat.

Looks like an easy all in IMO. Pot is like $270 and you have $120 left. If he hasn't somehow been bluffing and has some kind of hand I'm pretty sure you get more value by going all in.

I thought an allin would be an easy fold for a straight,

my bet looked weak so it introduced some doubt.

I'm not very experienced with 1/2 on Party but I've played some 0.5/1 and here I would not expect a lot of players to fold a straight getting those odds.

I suppose I get called less often but I get paid more when I am called, its close.

This hand is played well in my opinion, although I raise the flop a lot of the time as well. I don't get your statement about making sure they fold on the flop; are you waiting to see if the people behind you push? Are you seriously planning on folding if someone else raises?

Bet this river for value 100% of the time unless you have a read that opponent will check/raise with nuts or something like that, although with stack sizes, check/raising the nuts doesn't make that much sense.

If there is a big raise and the original raiser goes allin I can fold, mainly for money management and risk avoidance reasons.
I agree it wouldnt be a bad call but I can seriously consider a fold there.
I know if they both have the nut st I have good pot odds to hit a house but its probable one has the nuts and some of my outs are out.

Thanks for all the feedback,

He had T96 for the nut straight so my value bet on the river worked well, maybe he would have called more but I doubt it.
