I get that I'm behind if his 3bet range is actually that tight, but should I be accepting the sample blindly? Imo 200 hands isn't large enough and his 3bet range could be anywhere from 1-5? Not sure if I should be folding this preflop, but feel like that's kinda weak. Thoughts on postflop definitely wasn't going to fold on this board.

Hard to say for me since I dont play FR. But, it is a toss up fold or call pre.
He is tight enough to warrant a fold. His range here, IMO , will be AA, KK, QQ, AK(s) but I dont know what your stats look like. 888 is famous for real loose players, and could he see you as loose? Cause he would like a few more hands here if so??

After calling, I am fine with the rest of the hand. FWIW, I am too loose and would have also called.

200 hands is a decent sample size to draw off. His 3-betting range is likely AKs, QQ+ (1.7%). Against that range you are totally crushed. Just fold pre. Folding AKs here is not weak. If anything, it probably takes some discipline. After all, it's AK, and suited.

After you flop a pair of aces with TK, you gotta go with it. If a K came out, an argument could be made for folding, as you are calling down to split or lose your entire stack against KK/AA.

Try to take into account the previous hands where that person has 3 bet or inflated the pot by a large amount. Is there any hand history between you two that indicates that he may think your utg range is looser than expected? Once you land that ace on the flop it is hard to get away, but if you feel that they are a player that might occasionally 3bet light the pre-flop call is reasonable.

I had no memory of any past hands against the guy. I'm super tight EP, but a looser player than he is. I do think it should be a fold preflop now and agree with Minh that it'd be more disciplined folding this pre. He had AQo (weird), but the reason I called was that I didn't believe his 3betting range was that tight - I should probably have respected the stats and watched his showdowns in later hands and made a note.
