3-bet/fold "might" be better than calling down, but not because he'd be likely to 4-bet semi-bluff or bluff. (Althought an expert might very rarely make that play against a tight TAG with a 12-15 out draw on the turn.)
But I think you have to be very cautious about 3-bet/folding relatively strong hands on dry flops against good players with whom you are just beginning to develop your metagame. If he's making this play (the c/r) with 66 or 88 or 99, then you've got to get to the river and you're willing to let him spew a bit. If he's doing it with AJ or AQ, hoping to run you off a pair less than kings, then call the c/r and re-eval the river and call "safe" cards.
Either way- 3-bet/fold or call turn c/r, call river- has you putting in 3 bets on the big streets. You get a lot more info with the latter course, tho, and have the ~4% chance of spiking another ten as a bonus.

Yes I have proposed a super wide range, and that's mainly because of the hand I saw him show up with.
And that why it's important to get to the river with a player you don't know much about. In addition to seeing his post-flop play and proclivities, you also begin to formulate his pf range.

I'm hesitant to consider a turn value check when a fair piece of his range still has 10 outs (AQ, AJ, QJs....36 combos). With a pair of queens I'd be more inclined to try it.
And that's fair enuf. Value checking TT is best against
very aggressive players, not your garden variety lag.
