All 3 options seem reasonable but bluff shoving with SDV and at this stack depth seems somewhat dicey.
Would black aces make for a better call? Ad blocks value but it blocks the more sensible bluffs. If I bet and he raised I would rather have Ad but his value range is wider than just nut flushes when it’s just a river bet.
Fold.
MDF is 57%. I'm counting 64 combos of a reasonable CO open range that fire on the flop and turn, so we want to call with the best 36 of them to be unexploitable. That means calling with your flushes, straights, sets, and half your two-pair hands. AA doesn't make the cut, so fold.
ETA: If you are going to bluff-raise, though, AA is the perfect candidate, falling just below the bottom of your calling range. Holding the Ad is good, because it blocks the villain's better flush combos.
