Why would you push the flop? (hint: It's results-oriented)

It's unlikely that he called your flop bet with just an ace. There is no draw, so it's probably a PP of some sort, a jack or a six. Check here, and he'll almost certainly bet only hands that you can beat. He'll definitely check a 6, probably an ace (that's how $11ers roll), but might bet a jack or a PP (though he could just as easily check behind as well). The point is is that you're not particularly likely to be behind. I would check here and hope he checks behind, so I can make a small value bet on the river. If he bets I'm calling and then value betting the river.
