Do your villains generally call you at least 1 street on a A high board?

Some thoughts of mine about playing Axs OOP in 3bet pots:
- I usually do not get free cards OOP on the turn.
- A bet on A high boards usually only get called if villain has an A himself.
- I don't double barrel much OOP.

Those reasons made me conclude a while back that 3betting Axs for me, at my stakes, is not a good thing.

Am I considering other points than you, or do our images and stakes just play totally different?
You're making the wrong conclusion with those points you made there, assuming they are true, which isn't necessarily the case, but no matter. Axs are very good hands for 3-bet bluffing since they act as blockers for AA, AK, AQ and so decrease the possible portion of your opponent's range that will generally continue.
