I'm ok with it.

Everything except bet/fold. I'd prefer to check/call the river.

I'm ok with it.

I am, too, but 6 handed this is sometimes a bluff raise. I'm okay with a call too.

Worst possible river card.Completes the KJ straight, Ax and the runner flush draw.Bet/folding is probly the way to go but I dont think check/calling is to far behind.

Yeah, I throw down a little check/call here - simply because its the same number of bets as bet/fold, but you gotta chance to win off a bluff by the villain. Youre not really gonna get called by many hands oyu beat in this situation.

Yeah, I've caught even passive players bluff raising at 6-max before.The truth is, it still doesn't happen much (I don't do a lot of folding :-) ). What happens far more often is that you get called from a very weak hand. All in all, bet/folding here is far more profitable than check/calling unless we are up against a very aggressive/weird opponent.
