I like to 3-bet that flop but I am fairly aggressive especially on the flop when I've PFR'd the hand. A lot of it depends on your image and previous action in the blinds, like if villain is getting tired of being raised a lot. Three-betting the flop, even if called, will allow you to check behind on the turn a lot and c/c rivers to keep the pot small if you are really worried about it. I think you're good here an awful lot tho.

I'm htinking he tried to RR you on a flush draw b/c he thought you were just throwing out a c-bet. Personally, I would have raised him on the turn. The only thing I am worried about here is a set.
