Why not 3-bet preflop?

I liked the prospect of 4-6 way action for 2 bets each better than 3-4 way action for 3 bets each, coupled with the ability to easily protect my hand if I flop an overpair (good relative position to PFR)

EDIT: my standard line is to 3-bet, hence me posting this hand for review

Dead money is the most underrated form of hand protection. Either it'll be 5-way for 3-bets, in which case you're collecting on a boatload of value preflop, or it'll be 3-way, and you'll have less of those worrisome overcard draws to worry about.

You've got position and a great hand against a loose-passive player. 3-bet this homie.
