Unless he somehow knows that spiking a 6 or a 4 will win him the pot. So even if his hand were face-up, I don’t think you could call a turn push a push for “value”.

2) More generally, not knowing what he had, shouldn’t you expect that when he calls a turn shove he almost always has a hand that beats ace high?

Really this is all just me quibbling with your description of the play as a “value” shove, not so much an argument against playing the hand that way.

I think he’s calling with 6d4d if I shove the turn. And if he isn’t, that’s good too; since he didn’t shove a blank river, there’s no value in letting him see the river for free.
