Yes, possibly. If he opens 25% of hands, he could reasonably fold half to a 3-bet and arrive on the flop with something like: 77+,A9s+,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,ATo+,KJo+
One could argue about the exact composition but that would involve you posting your thoughts. Using that as his range this is a better flop than average for our hand.
We're basically left with the universal issue that shows up in poker threads. The dollars behind is less than a PSB. Is Villain's betting range dramatically different than then their calling range, and how SCARY is that?
Regarding the comments. I think generally if we fold every hand where the Villain might have aces or top set, we'll be doing more folding than is optimal.
