A river value bet is pretty damn clear in this situation. If your opponent had you beat, he would have shown some aggression somewhere, not gone into "call down mode" The only hand he could hold that might play this way would be Q7. A7 and K7 find a raise somewhere as does a 6 or any overpair. You will be called by any 7 any pocket pair and often times A-high. The strongest hand that I think my opponent is likely to fold here is somewhere around K-high. Any better hands than that will call you more often than not.

I don't really agree with most of this. You were the big blind this hand. You are the player in the hand who is most likely to randomly have a 6. There are certainly many players online that will go into check and call mode with hands that beat yours. I also don't think you should assume A high will call you down all that much.
What if I told you the sb was a very strong player. Do people still play this hand the same way?
