My image at the table is pretty TAG. I stacked vill earlier. I think flop cbet is standard and I called the turn because I'm afraid of people floating me and stealing. Here's the hand:

Uh, you hit your hand. Why fold now?

I like it up to the turn. If you're really scared of being floated, make a decision here. You need to decide if indeed he is bluffing/weak, and act according. Fire a second barrel or c/r. Without a read on villain, I would fold turn, but occasionaly I will c/r, especially to such a weak bet.

As played, I dunno, looks like your beat

Because he pushed. (Clearly?) unafraid of the ace...

The place to fold was the turn. He pushes any card there, possibly out of frustration or hoping you will think exactly that. Are you beat? Quite possible, but I don't fold this now for a little more than half pot. KK, QQ or some such is just a likely.
