I'd say follow through with your plan given that he has checked to you.

As played if you raised the turn I think you are turning your 6 into a bluff here. Even if you flatted the turn this option was available to you. But with villain's line I think you have to get him to lay down a 7 and maybe a weakish ace. I don't think you can win by checking. The question is can you win by betting or is villain playing to station, which he can do with an ace or a 7 here depending on how sticky he is.

HERO decides he isn't confident enough in the pair winning at showdown. So HERO follows through with the plan.

Game is 8 handed.
Effective stack 220bb

Folds to Hero.
HERO is in LJ with and raises to 3bb.
Folds to VILLAIN in BB who calls.

Pot: 6.5bb
Eff Stack: 217bb
Flop:

VILLAIN leads for 2.5bb
HERO calls.

Pot: 11.5bb
Eff Stack: 214.5bb
Turn:

VILLAIN bets 5.5bb
HERO raises to 20bb
VILLAIN thinks then calls.

Pot: 51.5bb
Eff stack: 194.5bb
River:

VILLAIN checks.
HERO bets 48bb
VILLAIN tank folds.

While the ending of this isn't all that interesting. I thought most of the early action was worth the discussion. And apparently you all did too.
