Just trying to learn how to beat the micros. Hands may be straightforward but could still use any feedback on how I should be thinking on each street, bet sizing etc. Any help appreciated

Your small turn raise doesn't really make sense, I would either call or go all-in with all hands I want to continue. This hand seems like a fine shove, although I see arguments for just calling too. Shoving is better imo, because I wouldn't expect fold equity versus AK/AQ at this limit.

AJo is usually just a fold preflop in CO. Suited hands and pocket pairs play much better as calls.

Ok, disregard my post then. AJo is strong enough to call in BTN vs CO, but is close vs MP and too loose vs EP.

It plays really badly in a 3bet pot, and is actually really close even against the small 3bet when you include rake. Your odds are 12 to win 43 and I don't expect AJo to win more than 25% of the pot postflop, so it might be a fold.
