You can also consider to 3bet pre-flop, but this line looks fine as well.
Problem with shoving on the turn is that you will take the variance line and that he need to fold a lot off better hands as well and I think that could be possible with in mind he will risk his tournament life here. So this player need to be ICM aware here to make this move profitable.

I think on the bubble I was best to play it cautiously with the 2 short stacks there.

After playing heads up against him he had some bet sizing tells, and he definitley had nothing on the flop because he bet more than 1/2 pot so thats why I was looking back at this hand and wondering, but yeah I think its best to not go crazy here on the bubble with my nice stack

I think you should c/R the flop smallish like 900 and betting hiz sizing dosnen't look really strong does it?

I agree with the previous poster 3b is by far the best play, i would rather have a hand like A2s-a5s in my flatting range as those play better postflop, a6s got a worse playability postflop so therefor we should put it in our 3b range.

I hadnt really considered 3betting hands like these
I presume I'm 3bet/folding.
If I had 3bet then the pot would have been big enough for me to shove the turn and my hand would look very strong as well

I'll think about doing this in future, thanks you two
