Default 200 6max turn/river bluff

SB seems to be a pretty straightforward postflop player, not crazy but tends to chase some draws, and definitely wises up by showdown. Also important is that I have a note on CO that says "plays his strong hands fast". I figured on the turn that SB did not want to put much money into the hand, maybe JJ or AK at this point, and that CO probably didn't have much. Once SB called the flop and the river bricked out, I was relatively confident in a river bluff. Thoughts?

I wasn't trying to move him off of AA/KK. He was straightforward and pretty much anti-tricky, so I took his two checks to mean what they looked like. I was thinking he needed AA/KK/AQ to call me - and I feel like he would have put some money in on the flop or turn with those hands. After his turn call I was pretty sure he was hoping for a free showdown with a mid pair or to catch/showdown AK or something similar.

Against the right player could be a good move. I can see him folding tens, jacks, AK. However, its not a bluff against AK as you actually have the best hand. So id prefer this move if you had pockt twos for example. If you could put him on AK or ace high here, you could even make a thin value bet on the river. The way he's played this, i think his most likely holdings are JJ, TT, QQ, AK. So betting here isnt a bad option if you know he will fold TT and JJ. Checking and hoping for AK isnt bad either though.
