villain is very tight (10/03 after 41 hands!)

what should hero do after villain calls his continuation bet? barrel on the turn again? checkraise the turn? or just play check fold, maybe call a small bet on the river?

MP1: 1,500 (75 bb)
MP2: 1,540 (77 bb)
MP3: 1,450 (72.5 bb)
CO: 1,390 (69.5 bb)
BTN: 1,430 (71.5 bb)
SB: 1,480 (74 bb)
BB: 1,840 (92 bb)
UTG+1: 1,370 (68.5 bb)
Hero (UTG+2): 1,500 (75 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with A K
UTG+1 folds, Hero raises to 60, 2 folds, MP3 calls 60, 4 folds

Flop: (150) Q 3 4 (2 players)
Hero bets 100, MP3 calls 100

Turn: (350) J (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets 120, Hero calls 120

River: (590) A (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets 370, Hero folds

Results:

Spoiler

590 pot
Final Board: Q 3 4 J A
MP3 mucked and won 590 (310 net)
Hero mucked A K and lost (-280 net)

cbet fold% matters here a lot. However, I will cbet half pot. Board is dry, no need to pump it up. After he calls this big bet, I will just c/f turn unless I get direct odds to pay for my gutter. People like this guy don't flat KQ or QJ pre. c/r turn would be a mistake, we don't rep much at all.

If villain is the type of guy who will float a lot or call flop with a lot of his pairs, then I will barrel turn again to make him fold these.

However, I doubt this is the case here to begin with. As played, I like the fold on the riv.

Again I agree with kurrkabin. The flop is dry so a bigger bet just costs us more when he calls and probably doesn't get him to fold any more hands than half pot would.

On the turn I don't like going into a passive mode when we pick up a weak draw. The reason being that unless we hit our g/shot we don't really give ourselves anway to win the pot on the river.

So, I would either barrel if I felt that villain was folding very often on the turn (but we don't have any information suggest this is true) or just give up.

As kurrkabin said, check raising the turn would be very spewy.

The River is somewhat close but I think we lose to enough 2pair+ hands that folding is okay. We only beat pure bluffs here (hands like AT will probably check back the River) and I don't see any reason to imagine villain will call on the flop with nothing but air.
