Preflop
Standard isolation.

Flop
Getting raised with a hand this strong is a dream situation, and the only consideration is, how do we best get him to put rest of his chips in the middle. The main reason for just calling out of position is, that we want to allow a bluffing opponent to continue bluffing. But this player is a TAG, and Hero look quite strong C-betting large into two opponents in a pot, which was bloated already preflop because of the limper.

So its not like, he will ever show up with a complete airball like A8, and if we just call and check to him on the turn, we can get him to bluff off his stack drawing basically dead. He has something, and either that something is good enough for him to get it in, or it has enough equity, that its not the end of the world, if he fold. Hands like KQ / KJ for instance have around 19% equity, so 3-betting and making them fold is still a decent outcome.

Whereas if you just call and check to him on the turn, he is likely going to check back far more often, than you want him to, and then you are basically just giving him two free cards to draw out on you. And for that reason the best play here is to 3-bet. And since there is less than a pot sized bet left, the only sizing, which makes sense, is to move all-in.
