I have been playing a very tight aggressive game and usually would slow down on turn if I didn't have a hand by then....

Villian is MP and has played semi tight for 3/6. limping some hands like J9s from EP, but not going crazy. I haven't seen him reraise for the 3 hours we've been playing together.

I have AKo, I raise from UTG, villian calls and BB calls.

-Q83r flop.

1 check, I bet, villian calls, 1 fold.

-K

I bet, villian reraises, hero?

It seems likely villain has 2 pair like KQ. You have 3 outs to a better 2 pair, and since there is only 7BB or so in the pot, you don't have the odds to call based on your draws, but I would call this down unless I was absolutely sure villain was a nit that would never do this with less than 2 pair. UI I would check call the river.

I give it about a 10-20 percent chance he's trying to make a move because i folded to a reraise earlier when i made a turn bet with an unimproved AK to a different player. I was easily the tightest player at the table.

That probably makes my hand good enough for the check call?

Call it down. No other good options.

If its 10-20% he's making a move , I'd call down. If he's paying that much attention, he's probably also trying to read hands. He see's you as tight and playing big cards, and 2 of them the K and Q are out there and he still raised you on the big street.I don't think he's trying to fold you out. I think he's value betting KQ, 88, or 33.If the turn was like a 4,5,6 or 7 I'd feel a little better about calling down.

anyone consider that villain may also have AK here? Seems to make as much sense as KQ given the circumstances. OP said villain hadn't 3-bet once in 3 hours, so he probably isn't 3-betting AK preflop after an UTG raise. Semi-loose call on the flop and a raise on the turn seems to scream AK to me. There's even a very small chance villain has a weaker K. I think we can afford to call another two bets here to show down.
