Default Should I give up on the turn with my top pair?

Villian is 28/28 after 75 hands. Is he trapping most of the time on the flop, or is he a donk with a flush draw or lower kicker than me? Was the 3 bet on the flop bad? Help!

UTG: $98.50
Hero (MP): $249.20

SB: $18.70

Pre-Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (MP)
UTG folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $4</font>, CO calls $4, 3 folds

Flop: ($9.50) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)

Given his stats, I think we can rule out AK here - if he's raising 28% of all hands, he's definitely 3-betting AK.

Given the size of the pot and his remaining stack (&lt; 1PSB), is there really any option other than shoving? Checking just lets him take a free card if he has a flush draw and then fold if he misses the river.

Gotta push, because of the draws he can have.
