Your hand is too strong to worry about this.
I don't understand. Why should I disregard his calling range when I'm behind most of it?
BULLSHIT. Give me a reasonable range you're behind (remembering that he's in the big blind and you raised from the Button, so hand ranges tend to widen up here.) You're ahead of most of that before we throw in a bunch of loose call hands.

When you have a big hand on the river like this, you need to play it such that you will win a lot of money from strong second best hands even at the risk of blowing weaker hands out of the pot. It's good value and great balance.
