Just joined a reg at an empty sh-table. Make an early 3bet to build up an aggressive image.

I cbet the flop here with the intention of barreling a lot of turncards as I expect to get floated here a lot. Will probably barrel close to the entire deck, besides Kx,6x or an ace (I expect a lot of Ax hands to peel the flop).

Now the ace gets there, and as I said earlier, it probably hits a decent part of his range but I obv. barrel as I have the FD, and still should have some FEQ at least. If called I would have c/f any non-spade river.

Ok plan for the entire hand?

Fold preflop!
You're OOP and he's very likely to call you with a dominating hand.
As played I'm playing it the same way you did (bet flop&turn), but I think given that he probably floats most Ax, the turnbet is kind of close.
On the river it's a c/f to me, too.

But don't you think it's ok to throw in some just randomsuited hand or whatever, at an early point in a HU match to establish an aggressive image? Also, since it's is early and he doesn't know about my 3betting tendencies he shouldn't be too inclinded to call light either.

Well I'm not sure about nowaday's general HU approach, but when I'm starting a match I generally play SD bound and would call a decent range preflop, especially since a lot of people overdo it a lot with the 3betting.

And "establishing image" is never a good reason for a play, the first and foremost consideration is the EV.
And imo it's pretty negative here especially since we have reverse IO's.
If you think you can make up for a 5BB or even 10BB -EV spot by exploiting his overadaption vs your perceived loose 3betting-range, then it might indeed be a good 3bet, but imo it's quite unlikely.
