Call flop, shove turn.
Just kidding.
A pot sized raise would be to $4.85. Pot on the turn become $11.55. $8 on the turn -> $27.55. Villain has $25.91 left, which is a little less than a PSB on the river.
Alternatively, slightly overbet the pot on the flop to reduce sizing on further streets. Say raise to $6 -> $13.55. Get $9 in on the turn -> $31.55. Villain has $23.75 left, which makes for a nice size for a river bet.
Since villain is a station, he is likely to call with tons here: all aces, flush draws, straight draws.
On the other hand, raising 2/3rd pot on the flop would make it impossible to get all the money in by the river without overbetting the pot, which looks much scarier on the later streets.
One thing that worries me with this strategy, which I see advocated quite a bit on the BC by good players, is to make our sizing dependent on our hand strength. It may not matter against fish, but against an observant and thinking opp, it will soon be easy to distinguish when we cbet-bluff and when we are trying to get the stacks in.
