As you can see, he was making continuation bets, not raising, which made him think he had a low non-pair hand with maybe a straight draw close to the top. I guessed he had 6/5 or 6/8 when the river came, a complete 10-A straight! Hahaha, he was in 35th place. If he doubled up, he could be in the final standings. WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?

in poker you usually shouldn"t try to guess the exact hand your opponent has, what matters more is their whole range and the line they took in the hand, if someone is just making continuation bets without showing real aggression, they can have a lot of medium or weak hands, including draws, but when a scary card like a straight completes on the river, you have to ask whether that card actually helps most of their possible hands or just a few, the correct decision comes from whether their overall range looks strong enough to beat you, not from trying to pinpoint one exact combo.

I would fold preflop. Why?
Because what you have is junk.

The screenshot does not show all the action, so its impossible to analyse the hand. But it seems like, all the chips went in on the flop, which would be a significant mistake by you, since you missed the flop completely.

I may have had a look at the flop as it is only 120 but as R.Melnyk77 said you have junk so would have folded on the flop.

fold JTo on flop easy peasy this is an MTT no hero call necessary
 
Man, that is an absolute brutal river card, such a nasty cooler! Honestly, once the river completes a 10-A broadway straight with TJ, there is absolutely no way you can fold that, especially in a freeroll where people play crazy.It's so tough when you read them perfectly on a weak hand or a draw early on, but then the board runs out horribly and they back into a full house, a flush, or whatever crazy hand beat you there. You just have to put the chips in and accept that it’s poker. Getting knocked out right before the final standings sucks big time, but you played it right. Unlucky runout, on to the next one
