Default Re: Steal attempt with 66, fire second barrel?

Yeah, you can bet the turn, which will represent the ace like you say, although that "representing" part is unlikely to do any good against this guy. He'll call again with a gutshot like 76, for instance, and he won't fold any pair either. (Edit: He may now fold a hand like K9, though, which is part of the reason to bet.)

Still, there's no real reason to assume you don't have the best hand -- until you get checkraised, that is (which, from the looks of those stats, will not happen often).

When I bet the turn, I'd be doing so with the intention of checking the river behind on anything but a 6.

As played, I think it's okay to fold the river against this guy in this small pot. He probably has an ace (or a 3).
