he will never fold a pair and will rarely have a worse ace high that he calls with. check the river. and post in micro-limits.

i'm not sure i like the flop bet to begin with. if you think you can fold out the button and get a free card on the turn, then i guess it's ok. the board is semi-coordinated so somebody will probably find a reason to call, so i don't think you're taking this one down UI.

the turn bet is pushing it too imo,

just check the river through, he called you this far so he's not folding a pair.

The flop is an auto-bet IMO. Hero has two overcards+backdoor straight. Even if he doesn't have the best hand he can improve and betting will possibly knock a player out of the hand.
