Are you looking for advice or trying to justify the way you played a hand?
Personally, I don't like 3 betting light against someone until I have good intel on them. After the 5 hands (hardly good intel, esp. if it's all 3 handed) you have on him, he appears very fishy. Also, min raises tend to be pretty fishy (though some good players will do that in LP).
I don't know if this is a hand the merits the analysis I'm about to give, but what the heck:
When you think about how to translate ATo in the SB facing a raise from a fish into actual money how do you think 3 betting him is going to accomplish this? If he's a fish and he's raising, there's a good chance he has something worth playing (something like JJ+/AJs+/AK). So when you raise, you're isolating yourself v his range which easily beats ATo. If he calls that's what you're up against. If he raises, you have to fold. Postflop, you have three ways to get paid:
1. Bink an A-ball and have him get stubborn with JJ-KK
2. Bink two pair (b/c if he's raising with an A, it beats yours)
3. Bink trips
(In case you didn't notice, getting paid in this spot involves a lot of hitting a statistically improbable board, aka binking) You can't bluff him since he's a fish, so taking the betting lead with a 3b is pretty much worthless. I'm undecided b/w calling and folding. Either is probably fine, but idk since I don't play much 3 handed.
