Yeah. Same as before: the pot is already big enough, and it's no time to be slowplaying. Especially when MP2 is raising with a draw a good percentage of the time, and will take his free card on the turn fairly often when you go for the check/raise (or the turn will bring a scare card that causes him to check through with his 66 or whatever weaker made hand he raised with). But even when he's a flake, that just makes it all the more likely that the rest of the field will come along for the ride when you 3-bet the flop, many of them drawing to nothing more than runner runner.
EDIT: For the record, this is something that I struggled with a great deal in the past, and still do from time to time now. You just need to try and drive FPS moves out of your brain while playing full ring, SS games--the times when it's better to use advanced moves like this are so rare that it's not really worth worrying about (specifically, in a HU pot vs. a thinking TAG opponent; and even then, it's often correct to take the ABC line simply because he's more likely to expect a slowplay from a big hand).
