PF is bad, raise it up to the pot.

postflop....this is why we need to raise preflop. He's repping AA or AK, but by the way you just smooth called preflop, he's probably put you on like KQ or KJ or some garbage.

As played, raise the flop/call a shove, or call down the turn and river.

why would we raise flop here? I want value not getting called by a better hand.

honestly, I think preflop is fine. If you raise, youre folding out the AJ/AQ/KQs type hands. Flop i think might be ok, but you have to find a raise somewhere in your hand like maybe the turn and call the river.

You 3 bet this preflop and if/when you do hit and make a psb you are totally/easily able to commit yourself to the hand.

I'd 3bet pre to around 3.50 or 4, if he calls its a psb from there and then since more than 1/3rd of villains stack is in the middle its just a matter of getting the rest in. If he 4bets you preflop then I'm seriously considering folding this. Also previous history/reads plays a much bigger role.

I think it's important to remember that at micro stakes the majority of the players are bad and will still call with AQ/AJ hands.

Wait, so you all insta-fold AJ and AQ and JJ type hands whenever you are 3-bet OOP? (no reads)
