opp is a reg, 1st time he 3-bets
-I wanted my raise to look like a bluff, but it's probably too big
-why I don't just to call down:
a) if he checks turn I have to check behind to get value river
b) although it's not likely that he makes his 2P, I'm afraid of it

please help me with my paranoia=)

Hello lukezo,

The problem with raising is:
a) You don't let worse hands to continue, like smaller PPs/pairs.
b) You don't let him to continue with bluffs/semi-bluffs.

So therefore I'd just Call and reevaluate my actions postflop. It's not that likely anyways that he his his 2pairs. For example:

Board: K♣7♠8♦
       Equity     Win     Tie
UTG    12.73%  12.12%   0.61% { KQo }
UTG+1  87.27%  86.67%   0.61% { AcKs }

As you see he has pretty horrible equity. :) Although as we add a lot of smaller PPs in his range you basically wont get value from them if you raise.

Best regards.
