Live £50 freezeout at G, earlyish level, 200/400/25, avg stack 15k

Good tough reg with avg stack who has been pretty active at table opens UTG+2 to 850. I look at a pretty   in mid position and make an optimistic call, knowing that most at this table don't want to get into pots with this guy. Heads up to flop

 

He leads out for 1100 into 2325. I think he knows I am raising here almost 100% the time with a flush draw, so I call...

Turn is  

He leads again for 1100, his flop bet to me could be anything, this bet feels weak but that could be a trap...Aces are only a small part of his range, he knows Im just as likely to defend with 78s and would float that flop...so I call here with 2 pair and flush draw getting 3:1....I was tempted to raise here now, but in case he does have the A9 or whatever, I have some outs so dont mind just calling...

River is  , he bets 4200 this time which seems a much more confident bet...on the turn Im hoping he has a weak ace and I make the concealed flush, on the river I really want to believe my 2 pair best kicker are good...not sure what he puts me on but he eitehr really wants the call on the river or really wants me to fold, I can see him playing any pocket pair this way, TJ, any king any ace..given how hand played does it seem like its a straightforward fold or not?

Fold pre
Call flop

Fold river

Above is based on you saying Aces are a small part of his range which i struggle to believe
