Hero checks, SB bets $11.06, Hero call or raise?

Villain likes to make hero calls and bluffs. I didn't put him on a two pair, set or straight on the turn cause he most likely would have raised that. Note that villain's limping range does consist of big aces.

I put his turn calling range on any pair, flush draws, big aces and any 6.

  1. Should I have led out the river? I wanted to trap him in case he had a missed draw. However, if I led out, I could get value from a J or possibly an 8. He does have a tenancy to make hero calls.

  2. As played, should I have check raised the river? When I was thinking about it, the only hand I can get value from a c/r is if he floated me with a ace and decided to bet.

Villain's value range that beat me, Two pair Ax combinations and heart flush.
Villain's value range that I beat, 1 pair Ax.
Potential bluff range on the river and would have folded if I c/r, any 6 and spade draws.
I guess the main factor to consider is, does his range consist of enough 1 pair aces to justify a value raise?
