Scared off to easily??

[Beck]

UTG is TP-A, based on 85 hands, with a VP$IP at 10.
Looking back I think I should have 3 bet the flop.

I'm tight-weak myself, but I wouldn't 3-bet here. Especially with a VP$IP of 10, he's only playing premium hands from UTG. You raised PF so his raise on the flop says he isn't too scared of pockets. I don't think you have more than your share of the pot equity here, so I can't see raising. In truth, you only have 7 outs (more or less), so your raise call may not even be justified (although I think I'd call as well).
