Agreed, with a smaller pot 3-bet makes more sense than calling as you have the benefit of a possible free card and you aren't as committed to the pot if he caps & leads and you don't improve.

TT,

I guess it depends on my read of BB if the action went as originally noted. I don't see a loose passive straight forward player 3-betting preflop and check-raising with a hand like Q6 which we are in much better shape against. I'd be suprised to see anything less than atleast being reverse -dominated on that flop given his passive nature. Given original hand action I'm putting his hand range at AA-TT, AK-ATs, AK-AQ, KQs after the flop c/r raise with AJs and JJ fairly unlikely and every other hand has us in really bad shape. I think the passive>loose so I give him some credit for a hand with a 3-bet, maybe a little too much credit at times though.

Given the revised preflop action and pot size, I agree 100% that the 3-bet is a much better play as BB hand range doesn't have us in as bad of shape as if he 3-bet preflop and thus the risk of cap/lead isn't as bad.
