Any thoughts on the meta game of calling/folding?

I took a looong time to decide, and I said that I was drawing if I called. When I said that, villain said "oh, then I want you to call" and seemed genuinely relieved that I didn't have a made hand. It was pretty clear he only had one pair, and I think he'd have re-raised my PF 3bet with a big ace, so I had a pretty good feeling most of my outs were clean. I wasn't sure of the exact math at that point, so I figured it was moderate ev or break even to call, but there might be some meta value in defending here (as in, if I show down ace high people will be less likely to bluff me in the future).

I think in the end, a fold is probably best, but it was a razor thin decision.

On a side note- I am enjoying the aspect of playing in a regular game where I can think in between games how to exploit the tendencies of the other players. This will be the first time I've ever gotten involved in a regular home game playing for meaningful money, and it was a ton of fun.
