Preflop
Because of the big ante in this game, and because the opponent went very small, I would go more than 3X with my 3-bets. You are laying him a price, where he only has to put in $1.26 to win a pot of $4.83, so he basically only need to realise a little more than 25% equity. I dont think, this sizing get enough folds, and you are also 200BB deep, where you want to cut down on his implied odds to call with hands like small pocket pairs or suited connectors. In a standard no-ante 100BB online game your sizing would be fine.

Flop
Not much to say here. Lots of worse hands can call this bet.

Turn
As you say, bet-folding is pretty exploitable. And since I dont play this game, I dont know the player tendencies. Like how often people check-raise a draw on the turn out of position in a 3-bet pot. This idea of massively overfolding to turn and river raises is nothing new though. In "Crushing the microstakes", which was written more than a decade ago, one of the mantras are "a raise on the turn is usually the nuts, a raise on the river is always the nuts". And maybe that is still the case even at 25NL. There is also the in between option though of calling now and then look to fold most rivers. Sometimes he might give up, and then you can check back and win at showdown.
