This is pretty stupid hand, but I decided to post it. I bet the river because I think I should have more 6s than him and tried to make him fold. After the reraise I am really not sure if he has 6, maybe he even has 76. The villain is reg and sometimes he bluffs in a strange spots, but still I think it is not nice idea to call and to hope to chop.

iPoker - €0.50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

Hero (BTN): €50.50 (101 bb)
SB: €12.71 (25.4 bb)
BB: €52.98 (106 bb)
CO: €50.00 (100 bb)

SB posts €0.25, BB posts €0.50

Pre Flop: (pot: €0.75) Hero has 8♣: 9♠:
CO raises to €1.25, Hero calls €1.25, 2 folds

Flop: (€3.25, 2 players) 4♥: 3♠: A♠:
CO checks, Hero checks

Turn: (€3.25, 2 players) 5♦:
CO checks, Hero bets €1.50, CO calls €1.50

River: (€6.25, 2 players) 2♣:
CO checks, Hero bets €4.00, CO raises to €12.04, Hero folds

Results: €14.25 pot (€0.71 rake)
Final Board: 4♥: 3♠: A♠: 5♦: 2♣:

CO wins €13.54

I check these back since with the made straight on board, we split the pot unless villain actually *does* have a 6.
By betting, we step into exactly what you see here.
Even if he only calls, you just both pay more rake (assuming a split pot)

This scenario occurs a lot in split pot games like Omaha hi/lo --
In order to get the other player to fold his half, you must have some reason to think that he actually will fold it.

Another option could be to try to represent at least top pair on flop with a bet, but otherwise I would most likely just check it down. It will be tough to represent a decent hand.
