I find it hard to believe with the poster any reasonable player on the button wouldn't open raise with KK or AA.

My point is I think you need to get one more raise in somewhere before calling down.

Personally, I don't like getting tricky and just calling the 3-bet here OOP. I just go ahead and cap with what is very likely the best hand and lead pretty much any flop. And given buttons unusual preflop play I'm taking this to showdown even on a much more scary board.
