I think you need to have a less-aggressive table image (TI) to pull this off. His calling range is going to be very wide here - which is exactly what you don't want.

When you have a LAG TI you need to change gears and push with a good hand so that they pay you off when they get ready to make a stand against you.

You say that anybody can play 'solid poker', but it is the patient player who times his moves right by combining his TI and the situation (sometimes garnering chips without having cards) who rises above the "standard" 'solid poker' poker.

Be aware of what your table image is - if you are Tight or Passive, you can bluff more; if you are LAG then you'll tend to get paid off more with your bigger hands.
