3 bet the turn?

Party 5/10 6max.

Preflop: Hero is MP with 9c, Ac.
1 fold, Hero raises, 3 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (4.40 SB) As, Qd, 8h (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.

Turn: (3.20 BB) Ad (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB raises, Hero ... ?

I have Villain as an aggressive regular with 30 VPIP/10 PFR.

Best to 3-bet or call? I'm afraid of him capping when I am behind.

My thinking is:

If he's bluffing, 3 betting loses a bet.
If he has a weaker ace, 3 betting gains a bet or two.
If he has a house or a stronger ace, I lose 2 bets.

It seems pretty close to me, but what do you think?

I usually call here and raise the river. This way you wont blow off a bluff, but you can still get an extra bet from an Ace that is weaker. THey are also less likely to 3bet the river without a boat or AK/Q.

He could have an ace, but you beat most of them. AT or AJ is a possibility but AQ and AK almost def. 3bet preflop. I like to wait til the river to raise for the aforementioned reasons.

Also, if you are beat a river raise is less likely to be 3bet by a better hand because AK, AJ, AT could fear you spiked a full house.
