Do you shove here or go for a small value raise? How much?

Also I think I should be betting that turn or is checking behind better?

why aren't you betting the turn, you have basically the nuts with a pair/fd. if you think he's really a station that will call a shove then go ahead. a 2 6 or strong ace probably isn't folding. his river bet doesn't look very much like strength so a raise to 4 or 5 might get called.

Don't forget he also has the gutshot on the turn too. Perhaps he checked trying to get value for his top pair and didn't want to get pushed off his hand by a raise. Either way, I think a bet is in order when a fishy villain cbets and then checks this turn since he's not folding any draw or pair.

After carefully examining the board texture I think you can shove the river. Most fish don't bet this river with 2 pair or anything like that because it's scary. And it's very easy for him to get to the river with any 2 or 6 given the action.

Shove without hesitation here, and be sad if you see a straight flush. Most likely villain has a 2 or trip 3 or something.

if you know he's a station insta shove and even if he's not I insta shove @ 10nl the times you get called makes up for the times a smaller bet would have worked

You have so much equity on the turn you need to bet to get more money in the pot
