Sorry to pick on you, HomelessPizza, but I strongly disagree with all of the advice you've given in this thread.

Iso'ing tight players in position is a good thing, especially when we have a nice Ace blocker in our hand. And you really overestimate the implied odds with a hand like A3s. Often there'll be RIO when we flop an Ace and pay off a better Ace postflop.

Why iso the best player at the table when we can go 4+ ways with fish, position, and high IO.
But you're assuming we can go 4ways+. You're assuming that no one squeezes and you're assuming that the fish always come along. These are very optimistic assumptions. You also overestimate the IO and underestimate the RIO.

A3s-A5s are the perfect bluff 3bet candidates. We want some playability postflop and some opportunity to flop a nutted draw, so that we can continue to apply pressure. Think of this as a semibluff, rather than a complete bluff. We're semibluffing with A3s. We're not airballing with junk like A7o or K3s.
