If you think hes calling worse than sizing your bet on the river is the best line with a calling station, as a station he probably doesnt bluff this river with worse enough to get the right kind of value from a check/call line on the river

Callingstations are passive and don't valuebet worse hands than yours, and there aren't any hands in his range that require bluffing either (considering no draws missed, I mean, JT made a pair so he's not bluffing that either). So check-calling is bet. Either check-fold or bet-fold (as he's not raising worse hands either). I'd probably bet $1,50 because I easily see him calling with worse.

C-bet to something smaller like $.20 and just shut down on the later streets; maybe with the intention of calling down villain, but I really wouldn't like it.
