getting it in to a 3bet by btn? 3bet by sb?

yes/yes
AA(3),TT/88(2),AT/A8(12) = 17 hands in the deck you're losing to.
I'm not going to bother counting the number of draws and AK type hands that might decide to 3bet you, but they're a lot more numerous than 17. You're not looking to get 3 bet, and while a button reraise would be worrisome, a decent player will know how strong the bet looks and make it with a range of hands.
Calling just sucks because there are SO many worse hands that will build a pot with you here. I'd expect to get called by a bunch of AQ type hands or draws and be able to build a fat pot on the turn if a blank falls and they aren't nits. Calling can only give you a chance to see a scare card fall and have trouble getting money in good.
