Note that the villain 3-bet the flop on hand 3 already, so the only way for me to do so would be to bet/3-bet. I think that's what you're suggesting but I'm not sure.

If that is indeed your thinking, there is some merit to that. I'm fairly sure villain would raise my flop bet with any 2 overcards or an overpair, allowing me to 3-bet. I'm not sure however if he would cap with overcards, intending to see a free card on the turn. Even this though would allow me to get to showdown and charge 2BB for it, while again folding to a scare card A. Not the plan I had in mind, but still an interesting idea.
