This is especially damaging with something like 88 because when ahead it's generally vulnerable to at least six outs

which is why i want to keep the pot small.

The counter to this is that the extra hand strength that you represent by 3-betting preflop worsens her perceived drawing odds, because she's more likely to run into dirty outs. So from her point of view perhaps she's drawing to 5 clean outs in a slightly larger pot versus 3.5 clean outs in a slightly smaller pot, which is roughly the same difference.
