I don't hate folding, but I do hate 3-betting. What value hands is he raise-folding? He's not folding any sets, damn, he's not even folding A2 if he's raising with it.
As described against this villain I'm calling, possibly open-jamming the 3, 4 or 5 of spades or diamonds, but otherwise checking everything else, I think, and then deciding.
If the 6
comes down, we check and he pots, I'm probably folding. If the 6
hits, we check, he pots, and we go with it.
We don't need to plan for each individual turn before we make our mind up about the flop call, we just need to work out that we hit enough turns to continue to the river, and roughly what they look like.
Flop bet size is too big, we should be looking to the 40% mark imo.

I'm sure many, many times in my poker history, I've gone through a little spate of 3-betting and barrelling a ton, including what appear to be kamikaze bluffs, and people adjust by letting me take down even more pots, rather than fighting for them, and when they do fight for them, I just let them take it because I know they're unlikely to do it without a hand, because they think I'm a maniac gambler.
