The continuity of his thought process/logic in his decisions throughout the hand just doesn’t flow, or it seems contradictory. On one hand, we are saying he will call the flop check-raise with the bottom pair of 6’s, but by the time of the river, we don’t give him enough credit to call a check-raise with top pair which is a far stronger hand?

In general, the logic we are giving him credit for throughout the hand allowing us to eliminate his potential hands feels a bit too advanced for someone who is going to make that size of a bet on river and fold to a raise. I just think without assigning this other player a skill range or type, we are taking too many liberties with his thought process for this example to be realistic.

Every other article I have read on this site has been extremely helpful to me though, I must say. And I will keep reading
