Anything else we can do here? When he bets pot OTT I don't expect to get a free showdown after river.

Well played. No odds for a call here and with the paired board you can already be dead.

Well played. No need to bet this flop but you can call one street. OTT it is a fold.

The only thing you can do differently is to bet flop in order to not get bluffed out. That is rarely reason enough to bet, but is better than check-call versus certain villain profiles (the "I bet if you check" type). Another problem with checking is that your range is precisely two unpaired hole cards + the occasional AA to balance. It is very easy to blow you off because it is totally predictable that you will call a small flop bet and fold turn unless you balance very well. This is something one will have to live with. It is the privilege of the guy in position.

I like it as played versus unknown limper.
