200NL: top pair on turn vs fish 200NL: top pair on turn vs fish

UTG was 44/3/1.6 over 254 hands so probably a passive station.
play was standard up until the turn i think. i allways bet in this turn spot rather than check behind, although im not sure what i get value from.
there's a problem with the ipoker bet box though, and it wouldnt let me type in bet size, so i had to pot it before the timer ran out, which kinda screwed up the hand i think.
on the river, with the stack size, i couldnt really bet/fold i dont think, so it was shove or check behind really, i thoguht i had the best hand a lot of the time though.
thoughts on a turn bet/river bet?

i think you played this fine against this type of player. the turn bet, which you know, is unnecessarily high, but you know this. the river bet is fine too because you aren't going to fold when he shoves, so why not just put the money in yourself.

Check the turn in position. We can snap off a bluff or get value on the river vs. a smaller pair. It also keeps us from stacking vs. villians trips if he has that.

maybe rethink betting this turn then? you need a specific read to go for 3 streets here, not just a hunch that he is a station (idk that i would even call him a station b/c his af isn't that low relative to his vpip). you could mix it up b/t betting the turn and checking behind the river (assuming we don't improve of course) or checking behind the turn and betting the river, but 3 streets here is pretty thin against a relative unknown.
