In this hand you can argue that I should have 3betted preflop.
But as played... how should you deal with this hand?

Is folding preflop an option? Should I 4bet?

as played, I assume I have to fold, but that is often bleeding money I guess...
So please help me out here :)

You should read a bit about the strategy for Full Ring, i play 6 max but i'm sure that AK is a 3bet preflop from every position not a Call and vs Squeeze as you played i guess is also a Fold preflop.

Agreed.
It would be helpful to know the tendencies of the squeezer.
AKo could be a 3Bet vs a UTG open. Again, it helps to know the players.

I don't mind the call vs the squeeze, but on that flop the fold is best I think

On zoom it's difficult to know what my opponent is like... I'm also not using a hud, so I have no idea how he plays... That's what makes this spot extra hard.

i know that I better 3bet, but does that mean I can never flatcall?

yes. playing micro stakes the rake is your biggest enemy. flatting produces a lot of rake, so you should avoid that.

so 3bet pre. as played 4bet or call. the EV should not differ a lot.
