I thought this hand was pretty simple, actually. I would check the flop because we are WA/WB. So give him some rope if ahead, and save money when behind. Then when he bets $50 on the turn I would raise to $125 to both get some clear information and because I am likely ahead.

If he calls the turn I check the river UI. If he raises I fold. If he calls and fires a large-ish bet at the river (~ over $100) I likely fold, but I would consider calling a small-ish one (~ under $100).
