What if he's got a hand like AK? If you only bet $3 then he's getting the correct price to call. You need to at least bet enough to make it incorrect for him to draw out on you if you're ahead.
Edit: Too timid, yeah.

You typically call getting 3:1 with nothing but overcards? Good luck with that.

Typically I don't, but if he knew what you had, it would be a correct call.
I just prefer to make a little larger bet in this spot, typically about $5, which is also what I'd bet if I had an 8.
