i see no problem with 3betting 99pre, it is super standard. yeah it puts you in tough situations, but good HU is a series of tough situations. I think i would have checked flop though. turn is a fold though, since his thought process is usually:

"he 3bet pre so he has some big cards, the flop is big cards, therefore he has 2pair or set, therefore if i shove my ace he will call and i will get rich!"

this is the case vs a bad opponent at least.
