Coldcalling is the worst of 3 options. The whole reason for not 3betting this guy is b/c you think he might have dominated. Why do you want to coldcall in that spot. On a similar plane of logic, by coldcalling you think you have a good hand relative to his hand range so you should 3 bet if you want to play.

It's not an either-or. Sometimes he has me dominated, sometimes I have him dominated, and sometimes we're about equal.
My hand is a big favorite vs the blinds though. I'd be making some money from them when they call, and I'd be able to play more conservatively postflop (choosing my flops) with a nice overlay.
3-betting is nice because it defines his hand, but even if he caps I'm going to have trouble folding if I pair, so why give him the chance to get more out of me when he's ahead? (I think he's ahead here more than I am).
