What;s his 3bet % though? That would give us a slightly better idea of what his range could be.
As played ya I mean its close OTF. I was examining a similar spot where dude has a uber tight range and I had 99 150bb deep. I called preflop cause I was getting set odds and it was a question of whether or not I should continue OTF. It relied on 2 things. First he has at least half his combos of AK. Second he s playing a 1 and done strat with those combos and fwiw his range is so strong that he can definitely fire turn as a bluff with AK a reasonable amount and we still can t call OTT. So calling flop in that spot meant that you must have a solid read that villain is a weak tight player. This basically applies in this spot except its not even a call pre due to stacks.
Remember you exploit these tight unbalanced players by just getting out of the way of their strong ranges and playing for the implied odds when they arise. Also they give up the blinds too often and you win that way too. Accurate play is needed though as they are nt drooling monkeys so the margin of error is a lot smaller.
Summary: fold pre, as played fold flop.
How important is have a decent defense range against this 3bets ?
Since i am working too much with GTO, and the numbers that i should defend to no be explotable, Im intresting of how much should i defend this kind of situations. Time ago i was playing very very tight (almost a non 4bet theory with my entire range), but right now i think that i been giving too much credit to villain 3bets when im UTG v BB/SB, and start to defende more and more. And i think we should defend wider, since people is just making 3bets with hands like AJ/AQ/KQ/KJ, which are a lot of weak combos if you compare with his real value range, and then just betting flop and giving up.
FIrst of all, we aren´t readless, we know this guy is pretty tight - so we shouldn´t expect to get exploited by him. Which means we could even deviate from a GTO-defense-line and defend even tighter than optimal - by making exploitative folds.
Second, given a 17% open-range from UTG, it´s GTO to 4-bet with JJ+, AJs, KQs, AJo+ and call a 5-bet with QQ+, AK. No calling-range as you can see, and TT isn´t even in the 4-bet-bluff-scope.
