Another Blind vs Blind spot 25NL

Hi -
Absolutely no history with this opponent as he had just sat down for his first hand, and I had never played with him previously. The only information I did have on him is that he did not post and waited for the blind to rotate to him (from UTG+1). Here is the hand:
This is possibly spew in the raise, at this point I have to Check/Call at the very least. I am beating everything he could possibly have except A10/66, unless he was barreling a gut shot like crazy which I do not think most players would do on their first hand at a new table.
I figure on the river, his calling range is 610, A6, 66, A10, weaker aces that just do not believe my line (it is nl25), as well as obvious barrel gutshot straights that got there (this is obviously taking into consideration my belief of preflop raising).
Is the value raise to thin? Should I have folded the turn vs an unknown?
I appreciate the analysis/advice.

Merge, $0.10/$0.25 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

MP: $26.06 (104.2 bb)
CO: $25.93 (103.7 bb)
BTN: $20.21 (80.8 bb)
Hero (SB): $44.76 (179 bb)
BB: $25 (100 bb)
UTG: $38.48 (153.9 bb)
Preflop: Hero is SB with A
9
4 folds, Hero completes, BB checks
I've recently been playing around with limping my SB with the entirety of my range and leading most flops in tournaments. I don't think I like this play in cash, and have since stopped doing it.
Flop: ($0.50) 6 A
T (2 players)
Hero bets $0.50, BB raises to $2, Hero calls $1.50
I am a bit confused by this raise, as I expect most of the value raise hands he could have are raising preflop (I would like to think most players raise A10-AK, AA, 1010 preflop blind v blind) The only value raises that would not raise preflop are 66 (still might raise) 610 and pair + flush draws in my mind.
Turn: ($4.50) 3
(2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $3, Hero calls $3
Here is the only spot that I think I may have wanted to fold. I think most players would check behind 6cxc here which is a very large portion of what he could have that I am ahead of.
River: ($10.50) 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $7, Hero raises to $39.51 and is all-in, BB calls $12.75 and is all-in
