I'd check back there at 5 zoom, people will do this with AQ+ all the time and I wouldn't expect unknowns to open lots of Ax worse than AJ UTG. You can have a betting range of sets/AK, maybe AQ, and some broadway spade combos like KsQs that block his calling range.

Do you have a specific reason to flat this pre? Are blinds fish? I actually don't like this call preflop in a vacuum. Your hand is likely dominated, you do not have the absolute position, and open yourself to getting squeezed.

As played OTR his range looks pretty defined - all better triple barrel, so it is most likely Ax. What Ax do people open UTG? Usually [ATs+,AJo+]. For your value bet to be profitable OTR you have to be good 51%+ when called. V has 16 combos of AK/AQ and just 2 of AT. Even if he was opening [A9s+,ATo+] you are ahead of only 10 combos, so still no value in betting.
