I have no information on villian. Checking back flop either means he missed the flop completely and gives up or has a hand with some kind of showdown value. The 7 on the turn doesn't seem to change much so think taking a stab here to fold all the hands that plan to give up. After the call on the turn it is most likely to me that he has some kind of showdown hand or some kind of draw that is played passively. With that is mind I don't think I like my check here as all his hand that try to play a small pot for showdown beat my sixes and I only beat passive played draws.

So my question is would it be better to make a big bet on the river to try to fold out hands with marginal showdown value and if so how big would you make this bet?

I really can't understand your logic. There is only 99 and 88, if he calls on the turn with those. Actually with this line you have a bluff catcher on the river.

I would most likely check it down. I don’t think we get better hands to fold and it’s tough to get value as well.

Cheers,
