I would just check/call the flop, otherwise, sure.

Check/raise the river

I think the flop is just a c/c. You raise isn't for value so really it is a semi-bluff. I probably c/r this river as I expect the opponent to bet and call here very often given that he may not put you on a FD from your flop play.

Is there any argument for betting into the PFRer?

Thats a very good point. Thx. I also have a question about suited aces in EP.. Do I limp with these first in? Do i need 1 other limper first?

No because his (likely) raise will make others face two cold, possibly driving out others and cutting your pot equity edge.

Preflop I'd fold. Guy in front of you is 14/6 in EP. You're dominated a ton.

Flop c/r is fine semibluff if you're firing on turn versus unknown at these stakes.

Turn c/c is perfect as played.

River b/3b is fine. Without a read, I'd deem it the better line, versus many opponents c/r is better.

So i take it quite a bit of value from playing this hand comes from the Ace?

After one limper and with only two players behind you that can enter the pot, yes.
