Villain is 23.89/21.24/9.96 over 100 hands or so. I've seen villain 3 bet pre-flop and on the flop quite often. I check the turn expecting the villain to bet at least 2/3 the the pot size and given our stack sizes I thought that I might have some fold equity here. How's my turn push here? Is this a spew?

A little deep, but fine.

Personally I think this looks fine. (Wait for other opinions, though, I just want to see where I stand). I mean, you can't reasonably expect him to have a 3 in his hand since he raised and then called a reraise (maybe A3s, since he was on the button). So 3 is a small part of his range. KK/AA is unlikely, since he'd probably reraise. That means he'd have to be sort of floating you with 99 (and what can ya do there).

You just look to be ahead of a vast part of his range.

You could raise more pre-flop, that's all I can see.

You don't have fold equity here and anything you beat you obviously don't want to fold.

That being said you certainly have equity. I have no idea how anyone has an AF of nearly 10, that has to be folding too much post flop rather than being hyper-aggro IMO.

I like your play.

I don't like the fact that he called though, but he could easily be floating you here. Calling here has merits if you think he might fold KQ or KJ, otherwise you should go your route.
