How did I play so far? All in on river?

Well, if you think a river shove will be called by hands weaker than yours, then go for it.

Otherwise, I'd try and check/call here.

[UnblinkingEye]

if called, I see villain rolling 66 out here.

I check the river and punch my monitor when/if he pushes. I dont think leading out is bad either but i think theres alot of things in his range that beat us especially with this river so im checking. This is a tough spot for me with no reads, i might let it go to a push, maybe i give him to much credit though.

I don't like the 2.5BB raise PF this early in the tourney. I think flop and turn are fine, but we bet the hell out of the pot on the turn and he called. I think the river is definitely a check, then see what he does. You could try blocking the river to try and keep him from pushing a whiffed draw if you're planning on folding to a river push. I don't think you can value bet the river profitably here however.
