This should go in HUSH, but I raise-call.

I raise / fold here. I don't think a worse hand is capable of 3-betting here, but you will get weaker aces to call.

raise and possibly cap

I think I would simply raise and call a 3-bet against an unknown. Without any reads I can't tell whether he would be the type of player to Check-raise on the turn with flopped trips.

Raise and call a 3-bet. And expect to win more often than not. No turn bet? What do people think about 4th street?

Yeah I think this hand would be a little easier with a turn bet here. Against a sane villain I would fold the turn to a checkraise.

Only 2 Ax combinations beat you and AT would've bet the turn.

I didn't bet the turn as I thought he likely had 3/6 outs and might fold to a bet, but I might induce a bet on the end if a blank came.

Thoughts?

Now that I think of it, thats also a good reason to check through. I still like betting though as I would rather have him fold.
