What's the best thing to do in this spot vs an unknown?

Obviously a very drawy board. We've got the A which means we're not too scared of a on the turn, the flip side of that is it negates his bluff raising range.

Do we just call here and let him bluff the turn again with his draws, or do we get it in at the risk of pushing out his draws and isolating ourselves against his sets? Or do we just fold assuming he's not playing many drawing hands OOP in a 3bet pot and we're probably crushed?

    Ye, call, he could still be doing this with KQ or air, also hard to put him on a value hand.

    FSN what are the question OP should be asking before deciding what to do? I'm asking because based on the range that I think a good UTG might call with AA seems to be crushing it.

    FSN will probably give you a better answer than me but imo:

    Can he have bluffs, can he have worse value hands, what value hands do I lose to, will he continue vs a 3bet with worse, can I continue on turns if I call now, how high up in my range is my hand, will villain think he has fold equity on later streets etc

    what his range is? what my perceived range is? if i fold AA to single raise then what do i continue with?

    answers would be something like: no clue, {QQ+, AK}, almost nothing

    and if you have no clue of his actual range then you probably should not fold the top of your range
