regarding ur question:
(1) initially CALL . On 4th ,if ur high,attempt a check-raise to narrow the field. If u do not believe u can narrow the field on 4th,u MIGHT want to attempt a check-raise on 5th when the betting becomes more expensive--assuming no one seemed to have improved and u think that u have the BEST hand on 5th. But this strtegy of risking free cards when u have a very vulnerable hand on 3rd/4th is very risky.
******************************************
(2) Bet ur hand . U will lose about 65%-70% of the time. However,those pots that u do drag in about 30% of the time will more than offset ur losses OVER TIME. This strtegy is the Caro school of thought.
Continue pounding on 4th,5th and 6th if u think that u have the BEST hands on those streets. U are betting for VALUE.

I believe the Caro method will generate MORE profit OVER TIME; however,the other method will most likely pull in MORE POTS.
Keep in mind that poker is about maximizing profit--NOT winning pots. Also realize that if U are selective about ur starting 3rd St. hands and a large field is playing RANDOM 3-card hands,U WILL slaughter the field OVER TIME. BUT expect to lose MOST of the time--about 65% of ur hand.
