In case you haven't noticed, there is a straight on board... so unless he is holding a 6 we split. Is this worth a call? Can he really have a 6 here? When he called the flop i thought maybe ace rag? but now what?

u should shove the river yourself.

Does the fact that we never have a 6 in OUR range make any difference in that decision?

we could have 66 in our range i guess, but more than likely the villan wont be very good at putting us on an exact range anyways.

heh, your right, i guess for some reason i couldn't even think of that when i posted this hand. But looking back on it, it makes perfect sense for me to shove the river. What about as played though? Do you call his shove?

meh. some auto call the flop with 64 type hands...then theres 66, A6.
buy its close- good spot to bluff since he wouldnt expect u to have a 6.

i think this is a fold. whenever i make these types of calls villains always seems to have it, so maybe im being results oriented. obviously your line looks pretty unlikely to have a 6, so it's a good shove on his behalf regardless.

I had a similar one some time ago, had A5 on the button and raised it up. Flop was 2-3-4 and we ended up all in. Turns out he had 56s
