$2.20, Final table. Bluff here?

At the final table of a $2.20 on stars. Everyone has been playing quite reasonably considering it's a $2.20 (no crazy spews/no constant jamming, etc). I was in the middle of this hand and felt my opponent had a weak holding. The river was extremely harmless but would you go for a steal here?

Jon_AK????

The reason I didn't re-pop preflop is because I felt my stack was big enough to allow me to fold if I completely missed the flop and the last time I raised that particular opponent preflop, they went all in (ie, just wanted to get in cheap, and escape if I missed)

If the button's been loose and/or he's been open-raising often from late position, I like a push here preflop.

As played, I'd check the flop with the intention of check-raising all-in vs anything that looks like a standard c-bet. And this does. If he had done something closer to a PSB (which makes it more likely that he's got the A and is protecting against the flush draw), I may be able to lay it down. But I'd have to have a very tight read on him to fold there.

yeah i think a river bluff of about 1/3 pot is okay here but much more is probably spew cause i doubt he folds A7 or whatever after you checked the turn.
