Played this hand at the Mirage earlier this week.

Villian: Older white male, pretty much a calling station. Limps in more than 50% of the time. If pot is raised behind him, he will call. If he catches any part of the hand, he will call, often all the way to the river. Very seldom leads at flops or turns if checked to him. I had been at table for about an hour, when he lost his stack and had to rebuy. Watched him limp in early position with A4o, call a raise from the SB, called all the way to the river when an ace came on the flop.

Hero: Older white male, pretty much card dead. Has only played maybe half dozen hands when this hand came up about 1 1/2 hour into the session. Probably percieved as tight/passive being card dead.

Hero: $180, villian covers.

Just bet the river for ~2/3 pot and fold if raised. You should pretty much just keep betting for value with this hand until villain tells you that you're beat. As played, easy call getting 3:1, villain needs to have a flush over 75% of the time for this to be a fold and there's no reason to think that's the case given his passive line to the river. This is why betting is better than c/c though, since villain's calling range is going to be wider than his betting range. C/c is only good if you expect him to bluff, and there aren't a whole lot of hands he can bluff with here after calling twice.

Agreed, although I think $40-$50 is better than $60 here.

Also, this is a set, not trips.
