Well, you sure as hell aren't winning a showdown so it's either bet out or surrender.

I think it's an easy bet. Obviously you have the nut low (playing the board with a deuce kicker), but UTG would have bet the flop with a 6, or checkraised with a 4. If he was waiting for the turn, then you have an easy fold to a checkraise on the turn. But if you bet, your play is consistent with a 6 or overpair, and he would fold anything other than a desperate ace-high. It's my experience that heads up, this play will take down the pot at least half the time, and you're getting 3:1 on your bluff.

Indeed. Excellent analysis.

Having the nut low really helps me get some extra equity here, I feel.

this is an easy turn bet, but if you get called you gotta give it up on the river. if he's calling the turn he's going to call the river.

Don't assume that everybody plays like you do.

so you're saying you'd bet the river then? what hand will the villian be folding that he called the turn with? and will he fold it enough times on the river to make a bet profitable?
