Committing preflop based on note

In this hand i'm up against an opponent on which i have following note : shark, but overplays AK and/or medium pair early stages

With this in mind we elect to put a serious 7X 3-bet in when raised to us , instead of the usual 3X 3-bet.

Why ? Various reasons :

1. Because we want to commit villain preflop and the normal 3-bet just doesn't do this. Pot would only be 900 preflop with me having 2.1K behind and villain 3K. i would need to bet every street and get called every street to get it allin with these stacks. I want to get it allin on 1 street or pre( ofc in this hand the flop came just to good to put it in on flop )

2. Because doubling up here means i have 5K leaving all others behind with 1.5K making me strong favourite to win.

3. Because of the note

4. Because many weak players play small pairs/ AK the way i play my AA here , they raise very big pre because they don't know how to play a flop , so they want to get it in pre or just take the pot pre. Villain being a good player may pick up on this and will hopefully not put me on AA with this kind of big reraise.
