And you think this is a bad thing?

If you assume his range is only Ax, then you check back the flop, and fold to a turn bet. But if you assume his range for calling your 3bet preflop includes TT-QQ/Ax/etc, and you don't feel like he calls a bet on the flop here with a worse hand (as you said), then why is checking behind and letting him get to the turn with his entire 3bet calling range (TT-QQ/Ax/etc if that's the case), in which you are still ahead alot of those hands. Hands that he would have folded to a bet on the flop?

There is no need to "define his range" if that means putting betting so that only better hands will calls in this case.
Perfecto
