Exploiting Blind 3b'er

What hands do you raise for value here? What hands do you call with? We has position, life is good! How easy do you think it is for villain to keep barrelling with J high? Or pocket kings for that matter? Even rag aces are gonna feel like they might be towning themselves.

On this flop, against this guy, I'm raising sets and aces up for sure, and probably AJ+, expecting calls from Ax and flush draws and maybe some other shit. I'm calling weak Ax and maybe 88/99, stuff that doesn't hold up well against his continuing range to a raise but plays better when he can keep betting air.

I'm not pretending to know how to play my entire range here correctly, but we have a shit flush draw here against someone who likes to 3bet from the blinds a lot. He has so many bluffs here I just don't see how calling at this price is going to show a profit. Raising seems like such a +ev move and calling looks -ev to me, I don't even know what the fuss is all about.
