Folding preflop would be fine. Suited I would defend as we will more often hit boards that we can take on pressure. Versus aggro opponent being tight on these bubble spots is often best as otherwise we will end up easily into nasty hero call spots.

I am not a fan on folding Ax here. Imo, we should either 3bet pre or flat. Folding is way too weak for my liking.

He have position, we have playable stacks, we are so-so deep, we should be able to find an edge imo.

I either 3bet non all in pre, 3bet ship pre(we have to be careful with that) or flat pre-depending on villain tendencies. If I feel villain is going 3barrels very often, I flat more suited hands and 3bet pre more hands that have low playability. If villain cbets once and gives up unimproved-we can flat a huge amount of hands and 3bet just for value.

Problem with small 3bet pre is going to be fact that our 3bet-call range is extremely tight in this spot.

True, it is, but we have a blocker to some of his re-shove range and if we see he's exploiting it, we change strategies. But my saying is that we should count all our other options down before folding this hand. Which being said, if our opponent 4bets aggro, plays post aggro, yes-we should maybe think of folding.
