my read on villain is that he is a very tight FTP reg. if he has a hud on me he probably has me as very tight in the early stages too.

Honestly this may be one of very rare situations when I fold QQ on this board.

Feels like if we fold turn we should fold flop, because his range hasn't really changed

Plz don't fold flop if villain is at all capable / has tendancy that we know of 3b'ing AK here and cbetting a board like this (which I feel is pretty likely). Added to that if he's tight he probably won't be double barrelling here very often.

i disagree, i think he's going to bet AK a lot on the flop but very rarely on the turn, unless he thinks he has to be balanced vs me and recognises that this is a good spot to be balanced, both of which are pretty unlikely imo.
