I think 3b folding here is a little bit nitty w AKo against what looks like a Reg, I would at least call the 4 bet and see a flop or even 5 bet jam seeing you are oop. I see you have a small sample on villain but even so 100 hands should still be enough to get a rough idea of his playing style, have you got any notes on him or have you seen what he shows up with in 3b or 4b+ pots? I would also play QQ more or less the same way as AK both are still really strong hands...

I'd flat the 4bet wit both AKo and QQ, especially as the others have folded by the time it as reached you so not worrying that another surprise raises to come out of them.

By the flop on the calling line going to be much an all in (considering the size the pot will be) or fold depending on what comes up.

Yeah it's indeed nitty, and if you fold this vs this player, you'll be folding too much to 4-b and will be exploited. I don't like a call. He'll have AK too a lot and even might have worse aces. You are OOP and will be in situation win or split for him and lose or split for you. So I think I will shove.

I agree because of being OOP i would lean more towards shoving here. Like semirami says if you are folding here you will be exploited by most focused thinking players.

NL10 is by far the nittiest limit I've played. Calling bets with medium hands on spots where bluffs are very possible and that kind of spots is basically bleeding money.
Folding AK here is exploitable but relax because at NL10 very few are 4 bet bluffing in squeezed pots.
I'd strongly consider shoving but that is basically asking for trouble here against the general pop tendencies (specially vs MP opens).
I've started to flat some spots pre instead of squeezing and I see no problem with slowplaying AK here (but I'm on a "gambling" mood these days, grinding hard is so boring ). Obviously 3bet is totally ok too.
After you get a 4 bet just throw a coin at it

It is a easy FOLD pre flop - no one at NL 10 is going to exploat You. They are not thinking this way. If they have smt they 4bet especially vs Squeez.
I dont think You have any Folding Equity when You shove You are going to face QQ+,AK at best and some times his range would be only KK+. Remeber that he do that from MP position - this is not BTN vs BB ;)
If You give him QQ+,AK and he 4bets without any bluffs so he always 4b/call ---> 5bet with QQ or AKo is EV-
