Preflop overcalling 3bet?

Blinds: $0.08/$0.16 (6 Players) BN: $16.72
SB: $16.00
BB: $19.18 (Hero)
UTG: $18.71
MP: $22.42
CO: $42.06
Preflop ($0.24) Hero is BB with A Q
2 folds, CO raises to $0.32, BN raises to $1.44, SB folds, Hero calls $1.28, CO folds
Flop ($3.28) 3 6 5
Hero checks, BN bets $2.24, Hero folds
Final Pot BN wins $3.13
Rake is $0.15

Villains: CO: 18/12, FT3b OOP 67%, 4bet OOP: 0% 297hands BTN: 23/12, 3bet IP 8, FT4b: no stats - 134 hands

What should we do preflop?

AQs is hand with good playability postflop even multiway but should we ever overcall 3bet like this? I was also thinking I could use someething like AQs and AJs etc as 4bet bluff here to balance my monsters. It's not strong enough to 4bet for value but has goo blockers and playability when called...

Do you overcall 3bets from blinds and if yees then with what hands? I feel like overcalling is generally quite bad as our range is capped and we are OOP often multiway...I think it could be better to overcall with something like PP...any ideas?

Seems like a good 4 bet bluff candidate, if you flat call you are either hoping for a Q or fd to hit on the flop.You wont be happy if an A hits because you could be dominated.

If you 4 bet bluff I think your hand becomes much more playable, villain will have to fold all of their 3 bet bluffs so you can just take down the pot pre, if they 5 bet you, you were likely dominated anyway as most players don't have 5 bet bluffing ranges especially vs cold 4 bets and if they call you there are a ton of boards that are good for your hand and range that you can cbet on and they will have to fold.
