    raise for sure, you need to get 130BB over the line and he is a station

    I'd consider betting that flop too, but checking prob best

    Even against regular players you should raise.

    Against a calling station it should be obvious to raise.

    100% raise. 

    For your own good, and also to try and make it obvious how clear a decision this is....

    Why would you even consider doing anything other than raising here????

    i would take a jab on the flop its so dry but each to their own i guess on that one, You must raise the turn because so many card can kill the action on the river like an ugly 7 of diamonds..

    So its not if, but how mutch? and thats difficult, you could make a large bet of 3.5 just hopin hes got two pair or that hes big fish...may even see it as weak, but raise minimum of 2.5x his bet and you cant go wrong....

    i raise to get money from draws but don't raise to big like about 1. 60 ish and get value from top pair hand and might have got two pair as well.

    I'll play devils advocate:
     
    To keep bluffs in
    Villain hasnt shown particular strength, so to keep weaker part of his value range in
    To give his one pair hands a chance to improve
