Online Poker Forum - What should I have done

This hand occured just an orbit after the other 2 hands I just posted today so my table image is based on that. The villain is one of the players that I discribed as seemigly solid based on the littel history I have with him thus far. He is running 28/21 over 80 hands, which does mean he plays relatively tight but perhaps raise a bit too much for omaha.

What should I do now. Obv I don't think my hand can take it down, and that his range is wider than aces prflop, but what can I convincingly rep here? More specifically, what can I get him to fold at this point that he wouldn have taken this line with other than K's with a fd, or maybe a a wrap possibly with FD such as KQT9, which I actually beat at this point.

Also wouldn't mid criticism of play on previous streets. I honestly feel I have decent equity against his range and my fd is likely live but can get away from it if it hits and he convinces me that mine is not good, but feel that I can get some good value if I hit my str8 as it is fairly well disguised.

What can you rep here? I suppose if he doesn't have an ace or a jack then he can't call. If you check you can't beat anything really except pretty much that exact wrap that you mentioned.

I think he's either got a hand like Axxx, KKxx, or AAxx. I'm suspicious of his check in that if he has AAxx, he realizes that there's no value in betting the river since any and all draws that you could have had just missed... He would have the near nuts and be giving you a chance to bluff at him here. You're far more likely here to bluff on the end then you are to call any bet from his perspective.

I'd need a good read here that he'd raise fairly wide from the BB and can fold Axxx here to consider a bluff in this spot. Checking sucks in that you probably can't win, but his check is suspicious to me and any bluff you'd make here would have to be fairly large, probably 200-300 imo.
