The problem is that our hand isn't strong enough where we feel comfortable stacking off with, so it is like a semi-bluff here. I say semi-bluff because if one of the short stackers decides to raise AI and he has less than 100 bb, we may be forced to call, and we'd like to have atleast some hand for that.

I know that he's capable of "floating" my 3bet here
How much are you planning on 3-betting to? It's not a great spot for him to float us because we rarely ever have a pure bluff. Your standard range for 3-betting here is likely QQ+/AK... and it's hard to see even tricky regulars deciding this is a great opportunity to mess with us.
