i'd say that if we're ahead, we get 1.5 bets of value on average, since draws don't really seem likely on that flop, except for 45, which got there and can't exist cuz no one bet it.if we're behind, we lose 1 bet.i think it's for value better than 2/5=40% of the time, so i bet.

I think I bet. One of them usually has a mid pair and the other probably has a 6. If they're so passive as to check an ace there, I don't think you'd have to worry about being raised. Any idea on how passive they are in general?

If one of the two flop callers is a pure elephant (never agress, only check-call) then maybe I'd check. However, against semi-normal players I think you can value bet here...you'd get value if opponent has a 6.
