TT/JJ/QQ could do this too, and given his tightness, I'd be discounting 77-99.
Unless you believe this is exactly AA, I'm not folding.

I think your play here is fine. Versus an insanely tight player like this if you continue you will get shown a set a lot.

I'm not sure we can discount 77-99, he gets a position, and pairs are easy to call (and he needs to call something) because they provide straight forward lines post flop, supporting tighter playing style.

Not sure though why you all call him tight, he seems to have pretty regu stats in my eyes.

VPIP/PFR of 10/10 is nitty in full ring, but is VERY nitty in 6-max.

We have sample size issues, though.

Yeah, folding this is fine. You're going to see a set a lot. I seriously doubt he cold-calls all combos of 1010-QQ vs UTG and then raises them on this board texture, if any. It's pretty absurd to do so when he's 135bb deep and you have all AA/KK in your range. He might have AA very occasionally too, but yeah I'd just fold.

21 hands is not a big enough sample to discount 77-99 from his range. Also, sets make a lot of sense the way he played the hand. Cold-called UTG to set-mine, got 3-bet by a deep stack, calls the 3-bet. Flops set, raises it to hopefully stack our KK/AA, maybe QQ if we are bad.

His flop raise is really bad though... Good players should realize they are beaten 90%+ of the time here holding AA/KK, and QQ is a snap-fold. Calling down and letting him hang himself, or jamming over a turn bet is much better imo. Even overbet jamming flop is much better than raising the flop. I think I like overbet jamming flop the most, but that's not the topic here lol.
