I think normally I would call preflop, but in this situation, I think I had an extra edge. I wouldn't call the UTG raiser solid, he was 35/15/1.65 after a huge sample

Y_Do_U_Ask is certainly more solid that most 5-10ers. I would guess she (it's a female avatar isn't it? must be a woman then!) is at least a little position aware so a UTG raise in the context of 15% PFR means a hand better than ATs most of the time.

I also don't buy the argument about initiative. You're acting first on the flop. If you want initiative you can get it by betting.

This doesn't mean I think 3-betting ATs is wrong. It's a tiny mistake at the very worst (depends on UTGs hand range), it disguises your holding to some extent, and provides cover for your monster hands.
