Generally, I don't like to 3! out of the blinds unless I think it is a steal or I have a premium holding. I know this thinking is flawed.
I had the same problem and I think it came down to folding my SB too much and just calling in the BB
Often when we're in the blinds a TAG will be in the CO. CO ranges, depending on villain, can be very very wide, so we can profitably 3-bet from the blinds with a decent range. At 1/2-3/6 on Stars many of the mass tabling TAGs have identical ranges for CO and BTN.
By 3 betting hands that you would have folded before in SB or simply flatted in BB, you'll raise your 3bet% by 2-3%.
