3
brings in, one unknown with 8
limps, Q
folds, another unknown with Q limps, 7 folds, a TAG completes with 4 door. Hero has A
door. What is the smallest pair for Hero to raise the complete? What is the smallest pair for calling? Of course that how coordinated is the third card to the pair is a big factor here.

If you flat an Ace door you lose a lot of fold equity later, and it looks so weird it makes villains pay attention, ie play better. Raising an Ace looks normal so it can't be a mistake to raise any hand you want to play. That should include 3-flushes, pairs and a few Broadway combinations including a Queen like AKQ. I probably only play AKJ or AJT with another . The Broadway combinations don't quite break even 3-handed on pure equity so the FE becomes important.
I mean you could flat AAA but if that's the only hand you flat it's dumb so I'd raise that too.
Here's what our range should look like:
