Villain is pretty much an unknown but seems to have somewhat reasonable stats based on the limited number of hands that I have on him.

Preflop: I didn't really feel like 5b'ing since villain was an unknown, we are both deep and I have position. Should I just get it in here since I don't know how often villain 4b bluffs me here? Should I just assume he goes broke with QQ+ and AK+? (against which I am slightly behind and I don't expect him to fold often)

OTF: It's pretty ridiculous because I assumed villains range to be QQ+, AKo+ in which case I am chopping at best which seems ludicrous. Decided to call at least since maybe he has JJ and AQ here sometimes and I obv chop AK, plus I have backdoors.

OTT: When I get 3:1 with the NFD I don't think I can fold although I can discount some outs maybe in case a heart pairs the board which may give me some reverse implied odds. Don't see any reason to raise.

OTR: Don't see any worse hands calling a bet given my assumptions about villain range, plus his line has been very strong so figured I have to check back here.

hi, i think the hand is well played.

you definitely don't wanna be stacking off with AK at nl5 zoom ~200BB, but AK is a bit too strong to not 3bet BU vs CO and a bit too strong to fold to the 4bet, though i understand that it's slightly uncomfortable when he makes it that large at this limit.

after you hit a pair, i would definitely always call flop, and tend to a fold on the turn. most players in this limit don't have the balls to multibarrel bluff oop on 4bet pots, so it's mostly safe to assume that you're up against a very nutted range (split at best) once the turn cbet happens.
in this case though, you obv can't fold once you hit the nfd, decent direct odds and great implieds, so call. river xbh is also good for your given reasons.
