Now, if he is not folding that much postflop potbet him to death.
Vs such a passive calling station you should bet small river and fold if he raises.

You could bet small OTR if villain is a calling station and fold to a raise but this is fine also.

If villain is passive we cannot xc. If he bets, he has it.

Someone with low aggression is very tricky to call. I might call him off because we don't need to win here very often. However, I would expect to lose but if I win, I make a note.

You fall into the trap - it is not too expensive, so I can call.
A passive player will not bet worse here.
And no matter if you win or lose, you should make a note. :)

Being a new guy with hardly any talent yet it's hard for me fold a set. Gone busto a few times thinking I have the nuts. I have read somewhere pot control is also an idea. I'm not there yet. Looking at the fluff is scare card A & flush draw. So yeah pot control minimize lost, Specially after another flush draw on Turn. My level nobody folds, it's hard to push them off a hand with any bet.

Thoughts??

If you don't lose 69 bb here holding absolute total unbeatable nuts versus fish station, then you'll be to scarred to ever be a winner in poker.

Put him AI OTR. Betting bigger OTF and OTT makes this an easier process.

Bet/bet/bet. If you are against a station potsize isn't bad. Do we expect him to have alot of backdoor flushes? No. You shouldn't even find out if he will bet. Just put the money in yourself. Rarely he will have the flush. But he will call down with all kind of hands.
