nah fold. it looks like you have a good ace and you can't expect him to be trying to get you off AK unless you have history or know he is really sick, so just let it go.

i think checkraise river is a very smart line for villain to take with a 6 because you will fold any non ace if he bets, and usually bet an ace (and sometimes hero call a raise), and also sometimes bluff the ace

Villain checked every street so you're right it makes no sense for him to have planned a c/raise on the river. But it also would make no sense for him to bluff $425 at this point considering your river raise isn't small. I think he had a good read on you, knowing that you'd raise his river check with top pair?

If villain has a strong hand, checking the river makes more sense than betting it. The A is the perfect card for him to check with a strong hand, since you're basically repping a strong A and you'll be betting here a lot with nothing, and the ace.

I would def fold this river.

Villain has to be a real sicko to be bluffing here, since he knows you have an A. If he is good/thinking than your image plays a pretty big role in whether to call or fold in this spot. If you don't like to fold and he knows this he's probably never bluffing.

i make many laydowns and perhaps look like a nit to him so that he thinks this bluff might be profitable
