Only 6 hands on villain. Because he has all the big pp, I didn't want to raise the flop.

By calling, I keep all his bluff in.

Once the A came, I was unsure of what I should do.

A lot of player will mindlessly barrel that turn (I know I would) so I decided to defend 1 more street.

Is that standard here or should I fold the turn ? (obv. in any case I'm not planning on calling the river)

Is the defense pre ok ? Would you prefer that hand to be in the 4bet bluff category or simply fold ? Thanks!
