I don't like all of this calling preflop, OTF and OTR. Of course we should be calling down AQs, versus 3-bet IP to balance our range but we can also be 4-betting for value! For these positions (BB x BTN), AQs is a very strong hand to be included in a 4-bet value range.

Well, OTF I don't mind calling more than raising because BB can have a ton of missed hands and dominated queens etc and we don't want them to fold right now.

OTT, I don't like very much our calling because our 3-bet calling range now requires a bit of protection, hands like 33, 77, 22, or very rare QQ (that are not calling 3-bets here so often), should be jamming for value because of the draws, and I believe that AQs is one of the best possible combos for us to turn into a bluff right now, because even when we are facing hands as TT+ or two pair, sets, whatever, we have pretty good equity to hit the nut flush OTR or a better two pair or a best three of a kind.

Are we going to get paid when we do complete a flush, two pair or three of a kind OTR? If we have more 'yes' on our answers, no problem calling OTT, but against all odds, I would be jamming OTT, specially because BB cannot represent anything so scary right now, since we are blocking some QQ, some Ax, and what it rests KK for BB so it can be very much a syntom that BB could have a whiffed AK and is desperate seeking fold equity.
