Is the river a good spot to bluff?
He hasn't shown any strenght.
I think his most likely hand is JJ,1010,99,88, and 77 as played by him.
In my mind it will be hard for him too call an all in bet.
Is river a good bluff spot or not?

A minraise off that stack size is pretty suspicious, if the player is any good. I wouldn't be surprised if you ran into QQ or AA.
If you think he's got some wide opens, might be best to jam pre and hope for the best.
I should ask: I don't know much about the Power Path tournaments-- is this a standard-format tournament or something more akin to a satellite, or what? And what stage of the tournament are we in?
Were you representing that you hit a set of sixes or slow played a 4 with your bet? Because nothing else beats his perceived range of hands. I don’t think your line makes much sense,
I would have bet small on the turn and then shove the river if you wanted to rep the ace.
In game I thought he had JJ, 1010 , 99, 88 or 77.
I was trying to get him to fold one of those hands.

My question is what story were you trying to make make him believe? He should fold one of these hands because your play looks like how you would have played [blank]?
I tried to look it up too but the link didn’t work. It’s a series starting with three different tournament types that all get you into a private 55.00 regular tournament.
i think pretty mandatory X river
