Yeah, now I posted a hand just like this where someone was 3betting 30% in a certain spot. A much better player than me pointed out that 70% of the time (even if that 30% stat was really correct, based on the sample I had) he won't 3bet and you end up in a tough spot in a multiway pot with a vulnerable overpair - you really don't want to let hands like AA/KK go multi-way, they play much better heads up. I think it's arguable that very occasionally there could be a good spot to flat and hope someone behind 3bets it, but really it's going to be extremely rare that it's correct to do that - there's no need to get fancy, just 3bet your good hands (and a balanced range of bluffs).
3 or so sessions (500 or so hands)
Yeah, that's an extremely small sample. Even a few tens of thousands of hands isn't really enough to draw any conclusions from normally - it takes a long time for variance to even out.
Stick around, post some hands, and I'm sure you'll get some good input. The hand converter at http://www.handhistoryconverter.com/ will convert to the correct format for this forum, or you can output straight from HEM2 if you have that.
