always bet(1/2-3/4 pot) and call a re-raise all in.

edit: don't open limp at all.

I agree.

In full ring, this hand sux in ep, so fold or sometimes raise.

Flop is fine
Bet more on the turn (like 40), which sets up an easy river, cos you just put the rest in.
Bet the river and call a shove, if you lose then it sux ... but you probably win.

You could, if villain is aggro (which doesnt look very likely), check the river, to induce a bluff. (as he looks like he has some sort of draw). But this only works if villain is aggro, and if villain has a draw.

as Fuzz said,
i dont like the limp call with that hand.if i wanted to play it i would raise it unless the pot was already opened.
as played you have to bet the river becuase there are alot of hands that would call your bet that you can beat.as suggested call a push as well.

Iago

I would raise preflop if I was playing this...

as played I bet the river, probably somewhere in the region of $35-$45 and then call a push if needed.

MrPillowTalk

As others said Im not mad on playing this hand ep however, once you get to the river ask yourself will you call if he bets big, if your answer is yes then personally I would bet at the pot if I am going to call a better hand Im not going to let a weaker hand get there for free.

I check call the river. Damage limitation against all the possible houses out there. If you bet and are reraised you're not going to fold with over 2/3's of your stack in the pot so you're making it very expensive to find out if he has a house.
You're going to lose some value if has AK/AJ, but there's a chance he might bet them if checked to thinking they're good. You might also get a bluff out of him if he's been calling weak.

As stated, I prefer to raise preflop. I think what Mr P above says is correct. If you're prepared to check call an all-in or big bet, then leading is better.
