Early in the Daily Big $5 on GG. I did have one hand of history with this villain: on the hand right before this, I opened AQ, this villain 3b me, I called and then x/folded a Kxx flop.

Since the guy 3b on the hand prior, I thought he might be screwing with me. So rather than flat the 3b and risk x/folding a bad flop for the second hand in a row, I decided to play back.

Hero ???
Now I'm in a pickle. His range is strong but capped since he didn't shove pre, so we can probably remove QQ-AA and AK from his range. But he can certainly have a handful of Ax hands and some Tx too. But stack sizes are awkward because he left himself with only 57% of pot behind. I clearly can't fold out any better hands with a shove, but can I get called by worse? Or does he bluff enough if I check to him? Maybe check and pray we can check it to showdown?
