Your move:
The math
Correct: Fold
Three-tone flop, you have the bare overpair with no spade and no straight blocker. Villain's check-raise range is heavy with sets, two pair, and made flushes plus combo draws that have you flipping at best. Calling 12 more into a pot where you are crushed by value and barely ahead of draws is throwing money away. Painful but fold.
