Reads on villain? Without a read it's a very tough decision.

Bet more on flop with that flush draw.

It's gonna be hard for you to get away from this, I'm betting the turn here. The call feels like he's going for that flush though, AJ slow playing is a possibility, maybe JTs. A donk/fish could be calling with a weak A or worse.

No reads I may x/f turn.

^ sizing on flop is fine.

b/f turn. you're only ahead of AQ and AT, and with the AsKs out there, there's very little 3bet flat hands that MP should have that would be made flushes (he's not likely flatting QT or QJss). Villain could have AJ or QQ or some other medium pp with a spade. Bet turn and if you're raised, be like Frozen and let it go.

I think this is really the best/only move. If he calls or raises he wants to play for stacks.

i think that at this limit you need to play straight forward and bet bet bet . i dont like very much a raise on turn but i will get the money in since he can have a lot Kj and AxQs in his range .

I would 3bet a little bit more (0.80) since we are deep. He shouldn't have many flushes in his range.
I don't think he calls 3bets with QTs and hands like QsJs, JsTs that often (but that is still a possibility since we are deep).
You will get value from AJ/AQ/KJ so I would bet half pot. When we do that we are commited and will have to call a shove.

Yeah if we bet 1.25$ and he calls the pot becomes 6$ and we have 4.15$ left so its becoming kinda spr <1 tight.
