Default 10/20: Awkward flop in 3-bet pot

Villian here is Pacuno again (if you want me to leave your name out in future let me know). He doesn't 3-bet that much from the BB (6% ish maybe), and cold calls a reasonable amount, so I think it's probably better to muck preflop unless he's been getting out of line. Still, it's postflop that I'm more interested in here.

Given that he's probably 3-betting a fairly polarised range (as he cold calls from the BB a decent bit), what do you think my best play on the flop is?

call, obviously

i think raising and getting it in ranges from bad to neutral, whereas calling cant ever be bad here. folding is probably a little worse than raise calling, but not far off.

Nothing else you can do than calling on the flop imo... (I do think it's a fold pf btw without crazy dynamics)

Let the name in, I think it's pretty important to know against which opponent the hand is played at the higher stakes.

I thought it was a super standard call too. Only problem is thinking ahead to further streets; I know Pacuno's a good player, so I know he'll be bluffing and value betting with a good frequency on all sorts of turn cards (making my play very tough).

So the A rolls off and I figure I have to fold here. The only thing I hate here is that I feel like he flats hands like AQ and AJ fairly often preflop, thus putting less Ax hands in his 3-betting range.

I know this seems like a super standard hand, it just feels so bad against a good player that I know will be bluffing this card a lot.
