Villian is a calling station. When he bets after checking for every street, he always has it. When he raises preflop, he usually has a good hand. Probably AA-JJ, AKs, AQs, AKo kinda range.

How do you call a player who is this active in a hand a 'calling station'? You've got his mannerisms pegged, it seems, and should proceed accordingly. You say he bets usually with 'a good hand'. What is a good hand here for what you called a calling station to bet on the turn? The only hand I'd expect him to have given this information that you can beat is JJ (unlikely given the pre-flop cap). You've put the fright into him with your turn raise (you don't mention that he called but it's implied) and, since he didn't re-raise you on the turn you can expect him to check-call the river unless he hits his set and if I were you I would check and pray on the river as well.
