But then aren't you going to get called largely by hands that have you beat (and of course 3 bet by some), and fold out overcard hands like Ax which would keep bluffing.

A high calls if you ch/r this turn most of the time, maybe not at these stakes tho. I don't like a preflop cap OOP, with POS I'd cap all day. Most of the time, I just ch/r the flop and go from there, but against this villain, he seems the type to barrel off Ax so I don't mind the passive approach.
