Stars $22, Blinds 100-200

Read of villain is that he is pretty solid, can lay down hands but has called all-ins once or twice with very marginal hands after the flop when he suspected a bluff (i.e. low pair or pockets with one or two overcards).

Stack sizes: hero ~4500, villain ~7500, button ~1500.

Hero dealt T5o in BB
Button folds, Villain completes (he's only completed a few times and usually followed by small bets...made me a little cautious). Hero Checks.

Flop A-J-8r...Villain checks, hero checks.
Turn 3...Villain checks, hero bets 600, villain calls.
Turn 3...Villain checks, hero pushes.

How do you like this line? I think all-in is the only bet he would have folded to and thought he could lay down a mid-pair when I represented 3s. If this is bubble I would just probably just check the river and muck my losing hand and might not have took a stab on the turn, but ITM I thought it was a decent play. Any thoughts?
