Would typically flat my worst two pair. Raise bigger if you do raise. Folding doesn't seem like the worst option when a nit smashes the pot button on a blank river, but other than A6 I have no idea what he's trying to rep. I'd just assume he has a value hand and is terrible.

Our hand isn't that strong if we face much action after raising e.g. getting to river like this and not wanting to call. There'll be a number of rivers where we aren't that happy (when straights complete, and broadways will give him better two pairs, 9 or A counterfeits us), we have to fold if we get 3-bet, and if we raise all of our hands that are better than one pair we end up with a very weak river range. Things get uncomfortable fast when you raise too many hands that are really close to the middle of your range.
