Wow villain played his hand weird. His line represents AA from a guy who can hand read really well and suddenly realised he had a better 2 pair. Dont see how any 6s from an utg raiser get to the river. Sets are unlikely. I deffinately call.

I think this is a call, vilain has a weird line here, the only legitimate hands were beat by is A-A.

Also, Hero should raise more on the flop, something like ~12.5.

why is AA legitimate? donking with AA is bad given our range...
but i agree the line is strange and probably never a bluff... prob fold..

i think his line is terrible with KK/QQ since all our value combos are blocked, and the only merit to shoving AA/66 here is if we're checking back KQ a ton and he doesn't think we're bluffing often
i probably shrug and call and hope to see some random bluff. once that 6 hits we've only got one combo of 66 in our range and KQ, so maybe he thinks we're taking this flop/turn line as a bluff. i just don't know what hand villain could be turning into a bluff right now, but that's not enough to get me to fold.

This isn't ever a set here right? looks like it would've gone in on flop if it was considering hero bet hard. The only hand that looks possible is AA, but it would mean that he read you perfectly, knew you had KQ, so he shoved his rivered better two pair.

Raise flop more. Sick life with the river. You look beat unless you know he can spazz rivers.

I think given board texture AK is not beyond the realms of impossibility. Obv river is a good brick for AK since it removes 2 combos for 66 and as it is he would think your value range is some what more narrow with QQ and KQ. So if he ever shoves AK here for value at a decent frequency you have to call river.
