I kinda like leading 5th given how strong you are versus a hand that has paired. I would also be very surprised if he limps A4 and fairly surprised if he limps 643.

On 6th the pot is too small to peel, even with your flush draw. Pretty much your best hope is that your opponent has 2 pair, which says a lot about how bad the situation is.

If you do peel my first thought was that you definitely have to make a crying call with one pair.

Actually I'm not so sure about that though.

If you make some reasonable assumptions about his 3rd street distribution (for example he would not limp a low hand with an A or play a razz hand with an 8), he is probably too likely to have a straight or 2 pair to make calling the river profitable.

I think the fact that you may not be able to make a crying call on the river with KK supports the idea that you can't call 6th.
