The turn was a nine, with no flush draws. He shoved his last $111 and I called (we were both pot committed).
He shows pocket sixes for a set of sixes.

And I don't overplay them. I fold when I know I'm beaten and my opponent fish shows accordingly.
The vast majority of my wins this year have been from value betting monster hands (sets and above) and being called by an inferior hands, assuming I don't get outdrawn. Overpairs have been just about worthless.
You clearly dont know when you're beaten, Sir. Youre reasons for continuing with this hand are really bad. SPR of 2 before he raised? You were getting 5:1? You were pot committed?
No. He gave you those odds with the most transparent min raise in the history of poker. And you werent pot committed on the turn. Did you think an old passive white dude min raised the flop and shoved the turn with A6? 99? Thats not how they play those hands.
