I struggle to assign a hand-range

I really struggle to assign hand-ranges and to play against that range. Could you check my thought process in assigning a range to this villain through the hand?

Villain is 20/8/3, 400 hands.

Hero is a 17/12 nit trying to grow some balls.

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG folds, Hero raises to $2, 3 folds, BB calls.

22+, A5s+, Various Broadways, Various SC's, 27o (representing random rubbish).

So I consider myself ahead of his pf calling range.

Flop: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($4.25, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $3.25, BB raises to $6.5, Hero calls.

44+, XhXh, Qx, 67, 23, 27o

His cr narrows his range, and I am not ahead of as much of it as before. But I am still ahead of his range and only behind 44, 55, QQ, KK, AA, 67hh, 23hh. That is, I am behind 7 specific hands out of a possible, say, 20 possible hands, and 3 of those - AA/KK/QQ - are very unlikely. So I call his cr. 

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($17.25, 2 players)
BB bets $10, Hero calls.

Set, flush, str8, bluff, 7x

Sudddenly, I am ahead of only 2 possible hand out of 10 or 12, i.e. a bluff or 7x. But this is a good scare-card, so I call getting ~3/1 which might be his stealing frequency on a scare card anyway considering he is agro postflop.

River: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($37.25, 2 players)
BB bets $14, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $14 returned to BB.

His range is much as it was on the turn: so by the time I get to the river, I am beating a very small part of his range. Namely, a bluff. So I fold.


Results:
Final pot: $37.25

How does that sound? Thanks.
