Default 3-bet the turn

Against straight-forward opponents mucking here is fine, but if you think there is any chance of your opponent making this play with anything less than AQ then I'd 3-bet here (rather than calling down) because-

1) You are unlikely to get 4bet here, if so you can safely fold
2) You'll get to the showdown for the same 2 bets as if you called his check-raise and then called again on the river
3) You have a chance to get him to fold a better hand since you've done nothing but show strength throughout the hand.
