200NL - Bit confused in 3bet pot

[Mossberg]

I would rather check vs this dude, and valuebet the river if he checks it back. If we bet, we are putting in well over half our stack, so it sucks to b/f especially when a bet only scares out all worse hands. OTOH, I think he rarely has a hand to raise if you bet the turn. Given that, I also doubt he'll have a hand to bet this turn with if you check.

So it's unlikely that we can get any value out of worse hands with a turn bet, and I don't think there are many drawing hands in his range to protect against. Check, and hope for a blank river card for him to pay off on.
