Bluff attempt in position » Small Stakes No Limit Discussion

Villain is a reg playing pretty solid, preflop.

I feel that he plays passive postflop, thats why I called his open prelfop. I felt i could take the pot easily when he misses. I've been doing that a few times. During this session

Flop:

I call his standard c-bet just to take the pot down on the turn. I also have a pair and backdoor flush, that may be good.

Turn:

He checked, I was thinking an overpair wouldn't really check behind, so I fire a bullet expecting to take it down. But he called


River:

He checked again. Checking 2 streets seems weak, I decided to barrel almost pot to get him to fold 77 or 55.

What do you think?

I understand the idea of betting here, if he calls and shows 77 I would change strategy though.
