I'm little bit lost here what I should do. My opinion is that

Preflop: 3-bet sizing could be bigger.
Postflop: I'm not sure should I c-bet here and calling his min 3-bet is mistake.

I would either x/c or x/f the flop. preflop agree to bigger bet.

Find a reason why everyone called you preflop. Was it because they are all loose? Was it for the price? Was it they thought you have AA or KK and want to make a hand against you? What is your perceived 3bet range in that spot?

Figure out all this and know what your range is there, then pick a sizing like ~4x

Flop I'd be a super nit and x/fold since no matter what kind of analysis you do it's going to be either a very tiny +EV with a huge variance or just plain -EV to continue in my opinion.

However there is a lot of money in the pot so you have to decide whether it's worth going for the first option above (eg. pot and go with it) or not. Heavily depends on the opposition's ranges of course.

This flop texture is pretty bad to bet/call on. I don't know if checking is great, but I would just bet/fold. They are not trying to make you fold AA here. You have to bet it I think because we can get called by AJ and AQ, potentially some OESD+pair like T9s, but once you get raised you are in terrible shape and I think this should be an easy fold.

I don't like going into x/c mode here because we will make quite a few mistakes on later streets - do we xc twice and fold river? do we xc once and fold turn? I don't like xc and pray we don't face another bet either. By betting, at least we can fire turn and then xf river happy that villain won't turn a T9s hand into a bluff, or a KQ. It might seem spewy to bet flop and turn then give up, but I think it's the best play because our hand is still ok and by checking turn I think we might be underplaying.

I like to bet/fold. Raising means we are dead in this spot.

Definitelly making it bigger preflop would be way better, like $0,80. Then we most likelly won't have that many opponents postfop. I like bet/folding the flop more than check/calling or check/folding.
