Yeah, betting the flop here would have been a good idea for the pot building you want. As it is, I think if you want to reel him in slowly, raise to $14 total, and then push the river. I don't think opponent will fold here though after his minraise on the turn. Rarely do these idiots find a way to lay this down.
