I would fold pre also, no reason to continue with this hand when there are other, stronger hands in your opening range that you would rather continue with.
I'm not really sure what you mean when you say "to get the scarier portions of his range to fold while keeping the weaker portions in."
On this flop I think any PP he has 99-AA is going to stack off and you have great equity against these hands. An A or K on the turn would be a horrible card for you since 99, JJ, QQ would be much less willing to stack off. Also 8, 9, J, Q's are not great cards for you either. Therefore, unless you had some read that he would go crazy with overcards and bluff away his stack, I would get as much money in now as possible. Any decent sized raise commits you to the pot, raising to 2.00-2.30 seems good and that sets up a 1/2 turn shove. If you think he'll go crazy with AK then make your raise a little smaller hoping he'll think he has FE and shove over. You prob can't determine this over only 28 hands though
