Villian is in the BB with 50bbs. He is playing 60/40 however sample is only over 10 hands so this statistic shouldn't be too relevant.

I decided to bet a little under 30% on the flop because my perceived range from EP is heavily Ax and pocket pairs so I assumed I would get a lot of folds given their defending ranges from blinds are pretty wide, and they would usually be behind with any 8x hand etc.
When bb floats the flop I decide to check back and pot control with my 99, He can definitely have some Ax hands, 2 pairs and straight draws like 87.
When my set completes and he leads in to me with a small river bet of <30%, although I feel this bet looks very value heavy and he is trying to induce a call with Ax hands, I feel my hand is very under repped and he could be value betting a worse hand such as 2 pairs etc. He should have a lot more two pairs in his range than he does straights as he would only float flop with straight combos: A7, 77, 87.
Given this information and the board favours his range I don't see him bluffing often here, thus I feel his range is very value heavy and I went for a slightly over pot raise trying to get called by two pairs and strong Ax hands.
What is everyones thoughts here?
Should we just call the river even though his range is very 2 pair heavy?
is it -EV to NOT raise the river?
