What a hand! 
I say yes, bet more on river. Even if they suspect you to have a higher SF card, they will still call. Afterall....they do have a straight flush!

I'd bet the turn here.

I really wonder how an all in on the river would fare...
A  does nothing in this hand so the other guys would have to think "did villain raise with the 7 ??"
In the longrun I think a few players would call that bet. Despite there not being much in the pot, some donkeys at 25NL would simply just not want to be "outplayed" and probably make the call with their straight flush.
Or maybe once in a while get a guy in there who doesn't really know hand rankings too well and thinks his A-6 SF beats a 2-6 SF.

Just too bad no one held a spade here, especially the Ace as you would've been paid off nicely.
Oh well, still a very nice hand and the fact that you got two weak hands to call shows that you likely could've bet more and got called. Still, NH.

I been finding these types of fish all over the Doyles Room $.10/$0.20 tables. I thought for sure when I stepped up I would be finding some good play from good players. Just the opposite has happened. I played for about 45 minutes last night and cleared $20. Then for about 30 mintes this morning before work and cleared another $30. If I can stick with good solid poker I see no reason why I can't make $20 an hour playing poker at micro limits..
