Brilliant play? Or fishy to the max

Reads on Villain, if he had the A, he would've bet out. 99% sure he's on the draw.

Can't find the hh (stupid Martin's Poker), so it looks like this will be by hand. Sorry.

I cant see why he thinks you PFR with a 6 so i cant see why this isnt a split/lose situation for you. 66 might play like that preflop on that shorthanded a table but you gotta slowdown on the turn. I cant see anyway he can give you credit for anything other than the A-5 straight. I think he calls and i hope he doesnt have a 6 :)

You said you think he is on a draw but 67 (or any other 6) has a better hand than you and it is a legitimate draw from a loose preflop caller.

I just cant work out what you are repping that scoops there. The allin may be the best option for the % chance he folds after missing his flush draw but that % has to be pretty low on that board given your play. I dont know how to play it better though. I think this is just one of those times where you played (most of) it right and got sucked out on (for half the pot). I think i just check on the river and expect a free/ very cheep showdown.

EDIT: If you have a weak read and think he will fold a missed draw then it might be the right play.

this is stupid as most ppl (and fish) will instacall this. Any opp trying to put you on a hand knows you havent got a 6 for the higher straight. Why not check behind? You are only causing yourself money because of the rake, and because sometimes opp has a higher straight (fx 67s for a OESD on the flop) and is checking the river with the nuts. I'm not trying to be a dick here, but I think your river play is awfull.
