don't really like your preflop minraise, you gotta pop it up here. at least 1.30, maybe 1.4-1.45 since you'll be oop the whole hand.

As played, shove. I've seen a whole range of hands here at 5/10, from KQ-KJ all the way to A8 and K 10, all the way down to QJ.

I really haven't got the hang of sizing my bets yet ;(

Is there a rough template of how big raises and reraises should be?

Raise more preflop, to at least 1.20. Push the turn.

And usually raise 3-4x their bet.

We like to say that an open raise is 4BB + 1BB per limper, but for a reraise it depends what your goal is. If you're OOP you want to pop more, so I think a full pot sized raise here is good ($1.35). If you don't want to go that big since you want a call with AA, maybe just 1.20 or so.

But just so you know, this sort of question belongs in "Full Ring." The micro/small/medium stakes are generally for 6-max games only. You'll get more helpful feedback if you post it there.
