Was my raise on the flop ok? Should I fold to his shove? What would you have done?

You obviously can't 3-bet and fold to the push. Think about it for a second. You left yourself with $39, he's always going to push or fold.

But you shouldn't have 3-bet in the first place. Call the flop and evaluate.

This board hit a lot of hands, and he min c/r you. You have position on him, so you should just call. It's much easier to get value this way and possibly find a correct fold later in the hand.

Since you have position, call. If he bets much more than half pot on turn i prolly fold. Otherwise call/check behind for pot control. call almost any river bet < psb.
