MP· - VPIP: 22, PFR: 11, 3B: 7, AF: 0.0, Hands: 27
UTG+2 - VPIP: 12, PFR: 7, 3B: 2, AF: 0.9, Hands: 123

UTG+2 is raising 7% from EP - 88+,ATs+,KTs+,AQo+ I'm 43% against that range, I'm getting 3.4:1 pre but is it best to just fold OOP against a tight UTG open?

I wouldn’t be surprised if he range is even tighter than you suggest here. I don’t think he would open KTs and KJs here. I expect he’s most likely open like 77+ KQs, AJs+ and AQo+.

So folding isn’t too bad against his opening range. As played his range post-flop is pretty capped in to A high only when he isn’t Cbetting. I expect if you bet the turn you get only action of AJs that you beat. So I would most likely check/call the turn and fold on a blank river.
