Re: 6th Street Bet > For Value or Draw? Both?
Read 7CS4AP. Really. Both of the books you cite have some really substandard advice.
Raising third puts more money in the pot with what is quite likely the best hand. If it gets heads-up, you're more likely to win by pairing one of your big cards than you are if the pot is multi-way. Playing aggressively early may set you up to buy the pot on fifth street if the other guy hasn't made significant improvement. Limping isn't terrible, but I raise third street about every time.
