HU 100PLO brainfart 3bet bluff

SB: $265.55 (Hero)
BB: $172.20
Villain is SB 100, BB 78, 3bet 11.1. 22hands into the match, no real reads except 50% raise cbet, small sample tho. No showdowns so far.
Preflop ($1.50) (2 Players)
Hero was dealt 7 2 K T
Hero raises to $3, BB calls $2
Flop ($6.50) 7 3 6 (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero bets $4.20, BB raises to $13, Hero raises to $35, BB calls $22
Since he raised 3 out of 6 cbets so far I chose to play back here. I figured a 7 and T blocker would be sufficient, but now I think I could also just fold. 357r would be better, 347r would be best I guess for pulling a move since these boards are more lockdown. My plan was to bet any turn which is not a 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or T. It now dawns on me that this is >half the deck, so my barreling options are rather bad. Looking bad this 3bet seems like quite a brainfart.
Turn ($80.70) 7 3 6 A (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero bets $65, BB raises to $134.20, and is all in, Hero calls $69.20
Given the flop play, is there any option? I feel like I have to follow through.

At this point, you're calling $69.2 for a pot of $279.9 so you're getting 4 to 1.

You're almost certainly up against a range entirely comprised of made hands, given the way he's played it.

A6**, A3**, 45**, 77**, 66**, AA**, 33**, A7** 79.55%
ks 2s 7h tc 20.45%

You have position, you can always realize your equity when you check behind. You don't have to follow through. 3-betting this flop is not so good, he can have so many hands and draws that will not fold. For this reason bluff 2-betting and 3-betting this flop is rare, which makes your 3-bet worse.

If you think your opponent has a lot of 589/89T type hands that he will fold you can shove. But unless they have an ace you're ahead of them right now. So betting now would be to not let them realize their equity or bluff you since they can still rep sets/45 after you check back the turn since checking looks so weak.

Sets likely have to fold if you bet large unless they have other redraws, which kind of have to be spades since sets+oesd should get it in on the flop, one would think.

45xx could still be a large part of his range, planning to get it in on safe turns. You need to have a lot of fold equity to make getting it in better than checking behind.
