Irie,

The line is good, I would almost always play it that way.

Now let's decide on the river play:

"tight solid predictable"

Ok, so he can't have K7? 74ss? (based on pf play) I think 444 and 222 are pretty possible but perhaps not with your read... would he call here with 87? 79?

ALthough you mentioned the occasional bluff I think it is very unlikely he has complete air, but he could have a hand like AK maybe if he overplays hands and isnt able to put people on low cards...

Has he ever reraised? some people never reraise so KK could be possible.

Personally without a more solid read I would not often consider raising here since the only hands that make sense for him that are behind you don't call the raise enough to make up for the times you run into a FH imo.

Well, one thing I forgot to mention (maybe the most important part) is that I had been playing very LAG. I had been open-raising almost every time I could for over 3 hours because the table was allowing it. Because of our seats, this guy was often in the blinds or limping UTG while I was doing this.

I felt like this guy would play back at me on the end with this board with many pairs. He WOULD have re-raised modestly preflop with QQ,KK, or AA because he knows I would have called a reasonable re-raise with most hands.

I considered re-raising him on the end because of the fact that I had seen him play pairs with paired boards aggressively and because I thought he would not have liked how small the pot was on the turn if he had a set. It also crossed my mind that the king may have given me enough of a reason to call in his mind since my preflop raising frequency was high enough to include all kings but not all queens. He was definitely adequately frustrated enough by me to call off more chips with some losing combinations... but I didn't get the sense that was afraid to do so.
