The brick kills any shot for a runner-runner low for me. Villain has three low cards including a six. Two pair is unlikely, I think, and if he has a single pair, it's aces with a baby kicker.

At best, Villain is only a little bit behind me, and at worst he's freerolling me to draw to a flush, straight, or bigger trips.

Bet into him, or check-and-call?
