First hand no reads on villain.
I think I would bet a little more on the flop since we are up against 2 players. 160-180 seems like a nicer sizing. Lots of worse hands that can call us on this drawy board.
Turn is very interesting, now that we get heads up. The main draw got there so bet/calling is not so attractive. Reads on villain would help - but it's the first hand so we have to act 'in the dark'.
The problem for us is that he might shove over our 2nd barrel with a variety of hands. e.g. JK with Kc, JT with a gutshot (turning his hand into something of a bluff) etc. So, with a redraw to the nuts I don't think we can really bet/fold turn unless we know villain is a nitty player who only ever has a made flush or straight here (in fact, nitty players will often just call their straights here, if they happened to slowplay the flop).
But... for exactly that reason, I am actually tempted to ch/c my overpair and nfd on the turn. We will lose some value against part of his range but against made better hands we avoid going broke and we can ensure that we see a river to realise our equity. If villain checks behind on the turn and the river is a blank we can consider a medium-sized value bet to get called by Jx.
