Default Re: Folding preflop to 3-bet?

We probably must hit an ace on flop and when we do we are sure to win less when our hand is good than he wins when he is ahead.

That is the price you pay for being OOP, and there's no way to avoid that, even if you have a better hand.

We also are more proned to be the one folding the best hand.

How are you folding the best hand here? I guess if you flop the deuce and the board is something horrid like 2-K-Q-J-8 and he has A9 you could be doing that, but in most cases we're showing down if we hit a piece. Please tell me that you're never folding if you hit the Ace.

Ignore metagame considerations because he is a by the book TAG

There are other people at the table, no?

All in all you're getting way to good odds to not see a flop, and some of the bad situations that you mention happen rarely enough that they are outweighed by when you flopp a hidden monster like 2-2-K or A-2-7 and he has AK and misplays it by giving you too much action.
