200NL Fake blocking bet with the nuts

This is not a move I use very often but villain seemed like a reasonable reg (20.98/9.07/4.67 over 3K hands) if somewhat LAGy. I don't think he's calling a very big bet with much of his range given the double paired board and flush draw hitting.

OTOH, if he did have the FD or AK I might be loosing some value here if he decides he has showdown value and doesn't want to bluff, try to push me off, or extract value from his flush.

What do you think? Reasonable spot to try and pull a fast one given his AF or is this just FPS?

Oh, btw, before you mention not raising preflop - I had a huge lagdonk to the left of me who was calling every raise and never folded a flop in his life (20% fold to cbet, srsly!) If I raise, he's calling and so is everyone behind him looking to take his stack. Tough spot for 99 OOP on anything less than a perfect flop.
