This was against The Awesomest. Who always seems to have a stack but loses it as well. Something didn't mesh right with the turn/river action. Thoughts.

So you don't think that anybody would slowplay a 6 here? Because to me something does mesh right with this action-he has a 6 and is trying to get you to put some more money in. Once you bet the turn he says "great, he's giving me some bite-let's raise and hope he has an ace or something." I'm not saying this is definitely the case and obviously a bluff is possible but I wouldn't say that this line is at all inconsistent with having a 6.

Also, I would almost always check/call the river instead of betting and exposing myself to your situation.
