I'm not sure about .50/1 games, but higher I would cap preflop against unknowns and the majority of knowns. It's likely the best hand, and you want to get initiative to get them to fold postflop when you don't hit and they have odds to call if they could see our hand. I suppose calling the 3-bet PF would be okay at .50/1 where I think the players are less aggro PF (less likely AQs is better), and fold less postflop. I'd still cap it though. As played I would not raise the flop, I would call.

No, I would not fold the turn UI. I'd keep drawing to top pair. No reason to think a pair of aces or queens would't usually be best IMO. I think we have odds as we'll probably get at least one more bet in from villain at the river if we hit it. Also, the river can go check-check when we miss and we take it down UI. So I would usually call turn UI but I might raise certain cards like a scary heart if I thought he'd fold. Against some I'd often call the river UI depending on what it is but these players would be rare.

I would call the flop and most turns UI but if he is prepared to fire 3 barrells and I am still looking at ace high then the pot is his without a read that he 3 bets light.

I actually dont mind the flop play at this level. People define their hands a lot more often at these lower limits.

A better thing to think about imo is how often you can expect him to call down with ak type hands.
