QQ 3bet/squeeze oop

ok, villain is
19/14/1.8, raise cbet 17%

when he calls here I have to put him on a range of 99+/AK/AQ I think.

Now, if I cbet this here, what am I really folding out from him, probably only JJ right? So if cbetting isn't right here, do I have no choice but to just check/fold?

If I check and he checks behind, I could check a blank turn and if he checks behind as well I could make a thin value bet on the river, but that's a lot of checking right?

If this hand were against some sort of LAgg, how would you play this hand?

Am I nuts here, do I just check/fold a big hand like QQ here? Or do I cbet around 40 and if he calls I c/f the turn?

This is actually a preety interesting spot and against this specific villain check fold is never terrible, yet i hate doing that with a hand as strong as the one we have so id just c bet for 40ish as you said and shutdown if called.

Any reads on his 4-betting frequency? Is he the type that would 4-bet strong hands?

I'm not too worried about AK here, I think AK would 4-bet, so the K doesn't scare me that much. I think either we were already ahead pre and are still ahead, or were behind the whole time.

I don't mind c/c here, though it makes our hand somewhat transparent. If he plays straightforward then c/c is fine, and c/f later streets. I'm prob not folding to one bet though.

villain has 4bet of extactly 0%

so he's calling here with all huge hands.

the less-than-pot bet by him screams "call me I have you crushed" imho..

so I think i'm best off cbetting and if called c/folding turn (unless hit Q), and if i check i might as well check/fold

Over what sample?

I c/c at least once against most players. When you 3-bet & don't c-bet a K high dry flop you almost always have JJ or QQ.

about 250 hands.

i called $35, he shoves blank turn.

250 Hands isnt nearly enough to tell you much about his 4 betting range...except maybe that he is unlikely to 4-bet bluff.

He is very tight tho, and his AF is low so perhaps he is a little more passive and will call his big hands & you can justify folding the flop. Just make a note & move on.
