Thanks for responding man.
You blow out the few aces you dominate and all the 5's you dominate by 3 betting. Your building a pot vs a range where your unsure how happy you should be on A high boards. A5s plays very well multiway and with a high spr. So I just don't see a reason to waste it when you could 3 bet something else in your "bluff range".
