I know these are rediculously low stakes - but I think the principle still holds. I can't say I have a read on villain, but my memory if him is he seems fishy. He certainly hasn't done anything this aggressive since I've been at the table (4+ orbits.)

Was I stupid to bet on the turn and river? Is his stacking off just trying to push me off the hand, or does he have the ace?

I think that, while it's possible he may not have you beat, you'd be best off to wait for a better opportunity to take his stack.

Also, it's not a bad thing if he gets away with stealing tiny pots with pushes like this now and then. He will begin to think he can always get away with it and then suddenly you show up with a real monster and take it all.

Easy fold.

Also, like daven said, fold preflop.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
