Decided to be a NIT and 4-bet as a bluff, although calling is probably better.

I usually check-call here because my kicker sucks and to protect KK/JJ, but I decided to c-bet because I probably play these spots the other way around way too often.
And also because this is a board I'm going to c-bet a lot, so I want some value hands, as well as get protection

Looking back, I probably should have bet-called here, but Villian shouldn't have many offsuit combos, so giving a free card is not too bad.
I'm definitely balanced here, as I'd sometimes check KK/KQ/AA etc.

I don't think I can protibly call here, but a CRAI is very credible imo. Even my 4-bet Ahigh and Khigh bluffs have showdown value, and I can so easily have slowplayed a boat.
But of course, the guy makes a horrible snapcall, and I lose again.

Is this a good bluff that I shouldn't make at these stakes, is it bad overall, or did I just get unlucky with the fact that Villian doesn't think about hands at all?
These kinds of pots have been costing me a lot of money, so I'm looking to get feedback on these kinds of plays.
Thanks
