25NL bottom set on rainbow flop against station - deep

Villian is 72/13/1.6 total station, but he has been hitting gutshots and even backdoor straights all day and taking a lot of chips off the better players at the table. I am 13/8/5 on the table that day if that matters.

This is the first hand I'm posting, and I'm wondering how my play is on all streets. I'm terrified of the river so I just check behind in position because I wouldn't know what to do facing a shove. However afterwards I realized that I haven't seen this guy make any huge bluffs, so I thought maybe that was a big mistake. Maybe I should have bet $7 / folded to a shove?

On the flop I bet light because he was folding to some of my c-bets after I took a couple big pots off him. I was actually hoping he was on some weird straight draw and I was trying not to price him out on the turn (by that I mean I thought he would still take bad odds, just not atrocious odds), and then I was going to try to get him to bluff raise a weak bet on the river, but when the straight card hit I didn't know what to do. And again I didn't remember that he hadn't shown any real bluffs at this point.
