HU hand 1: KQ on Q43r vs big x/r

BB: 1611.49
SB: 1236.91 (Hero)
Preflop (15) (2 Players)
Hero was dealt Q K
Hero raises to 20, BB raises to 80, Hero calls 60
so vilain wanted to HU, he play nl400 & 1k sometimes, not a fish but not a reg, he's too passive, and does weird stuff, like 4bet shove all in 22 at 100bb deep

on HU, he is 72/58, (open 88%, def BB 30% call, 27% 3bet) and quite passive postflop (agg 33/27/20), cbet 50% flop, never saw him bluff river so far on ~150hands (but a played him HU a while ago, so maybe this HH happens after 50 hands today)

so preflop seems standard, saw him 3bet J2s, so i think calling is better than 4betting (+dont want to be shoved)
Flop (175) 4 Q 3 (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero bets 74.49, BB raises to 381.97, Hero calls 307.48
so he cbet like 40% on 8 times on 3b pot, so the check doesn't surprise me, i like my flop bet

and then he x/r a lot, quite fast, i think shoving here is quite bad, i want him to continue bluffing like A2/A5/56, but i loose to AQ/KK/AA/33/44, maybe he has sometimes Q4s/Q3s

so what do we do?

+if you fold KQ, do you call AQ? KK?
+if you call KQ, do you fold QJ? JJ?
Turn (938.94) 4 Q 3 T (2 Players)
BB bets 1149.52, and is all in, Hero calls 774.94, and is all in
seems a call after the call flop; no sense to fold here, it's a flop decision

"BB checks, Hero bets 74.49, BB raises to 381.97, ..."

Mmmh ... sounds like an easy decision on that dry board?!

Yes, just fold flop given reads. Pretty scary check-raise by the 3bettor on such a dry board that will hit you fairly well (you have lots of Qx in your defending range) ; seems to me that he's very very value oriented, trying to shovel as much money as possible into the pot right away in order to stack off turn.

Definitely seems like a fairly easy fold to his flop XR given your read on the opponent.

"+if you fold KQ, do you call AQ? KK?"

I definitely call KK if I think he can have AQ in his range when doing this for whatever reason. AQ is a lot closer but is most likely in the same boat as your KQ here.

"+if you call KQ, do you fold QJ? JJ?"

I wouldn't be betting these hands on the flop when checked to.

i made some equity calculations, and vs Q3s/Q4s/33/44/AQ/KK+, AQ/KQ/KK is a fold (!), and only AA is a call; KK is close, but still a fold
