Edit: I would have check/called the river

I disagree. I think the typical 3/6 player calls more much more often ... with hands that you beat than you don't.

I don't think he is betting the river with many hands that don't beat you.

Mr. Chairman,

In my experience, which is almost all at 1/2 however, you won't get called much on this river by anything you beat, many of the hands that called you so far already have a straight and are slowplaying it, or they were calling with the hopes of an ace (Ax) or a five (2big, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 8big, 82, 83, 84, 86, 87, 89) or either one (A2, A8)to come.

Therefore, with this small pot, I think check/folding > bet/folding.

However, because checking will sometimes induce a bluff, I think check/calling > bet/folding; at least against an unknown and later, enough of the time to keep to him honest.
