I think I should have opened up my 3betting range for value here and look to call a 4bet in position. The only negative to this is at the microstakes it is debatable whether many villains have a 4bet bluffing range but possibly in this very dynamic situation. Villain here is 21/21 over 14 hands, so no real reads apart from looking very reggy. Anyway I elect to call, keeping in many worse aces, suited connects, broadways etc. etc.

I see no real reason to raise here. I keep all bluffs in and gives them the opportunity to fire again. Villain at this point has his entire cut off range.

My raise seems awfully big coming to look at it. Maybe something in the realm of $1.80 if I were to do it again. The big question is, should I have even done it? What exactly should my raising range be here if any? I can certainly get called by a coupe of weaker aces (AJo, AJs, ATs and possibly ATo) whilst also getting called by better aces (Ak, A9s, A4s,A7s) plus the obvious sets.
My main reason for the raise was to try and get full value if and when the flush hits. I will obviously lose sometimes to the better aces and sets but I will also have a large degree of equity against these hands if I do get called.
Would like to know peoples thoughts.

i would like to 3b here preflop. But if its going multiway is not that bad with AQs.
The flop play is good. To bad u did not follow ur plan on the turn. I should just call the turn and play rivers, for more reasons. About a raising range on the turn prob 2pair + but it depends.
3 betting preflop probably depends a little bit on the players involved but I'd say that as a standard you should 3 bet here. On the turn, just call. You have a great bluffcatcher as well as a nut draw to go with it. By raising, you're going to make your opponent fold draws that you have dominated and most of his worse value hands.
agree to everything on the above :)
pre u can play a mix, with the rake environment ur very incentivizes you to put a lot of money in preflop far ahead of a calling range before u pay rake.
flop u probably make more money with a raise exploit, but both options are obviously fine, though it is a high frequency checking board for OOP and his is likely over-cbetting it, and raising this combo is going to be a good strategy vs people who are choosing to cbet too aggressively vs any decent BU cold call range.
turn as well both options seem reasonable, Theoretically and exploitatively the solutions are totally different, given it's 5nl if u had people make any decent calling errors, I assume raising turn will make slightly more money. Again that is playing our hand in a vacuum, not looking at the whole picture, and it's just higher EV if my assumptions about low stakes frequencies are correct hehe
