NL25 4bp: AQ + nut backdoor on Txx IP

Blinds: $0.10/$0.25 (6 Players) BN: $25.65 (Hero)
SB: $25.05
BB: $28.20
UTG: $25.00
MP: $25.89
CO: $31.22
villain unknown
Preflop ($0.35) Hero is BN with Q A
2 folds, CO raises to $0.75, Hero raises to $2.25, 2 folds, CO raises to $5.00, Hero calls $2.75
Flop ($10.35) 6 3 T
CO bets $4.21, Hero

Do you float with the nut backdoor here given that we also beat some of his bluffs? Would you lean more towards folding given his bet size? Do you expect him to and should he bet AK like this? How does the fact that we're completely unknown and he 4bets my first 3b vs him influence your decision?
I really only have JJ, TT and a bunch of FD like KQhh, KJhh, QJhh, 98hh if that as better continuing hands here so this hand isn't far from the top of my range.

I think villain may very well be using that sizing for his entire range on relatively dry boards like this. I also dont know if aqo is an easy call pre. Given all that i would still call flop because i think you will have around 30% equity and there are a bunch of turns where you can make moves.

Call or 3 bet-fold, pre-flop..... I'd call a 4 bet w/ my AQs, AJs. mix strategy w/ AK(call 4 bet /5bet) and getting it in with QQ+.... And balancing my nuts with the top of my folding range....
I think hands like 98s should be 3bet/folds as well if your polarizing your three bet range with them.....

Yes I aggree with Dddogkillah. If you are flatting 4b with majority of hands you mentioned you are probably flatting 4b too wide. Smth like AQs AJs ATs KQs + some combos JJ+ AK should be more than enough in theory (ofc you apply different ranges - hands to different types of villian).

As played I don't think it is good to float vs villains halfpot betsizing. Spr is not in our favour when we get to Turn. We will mostly be put into AI situations on turn. And a lot of times or A Q outs will not be clean.
