Villain is UTG. His RFI in EP is 4%. I am on the button with TT and 33 bb effective.

I felt his range was sufficiently narrow that I am not getting a fold if I 3b or 3b shove. I feel like he could have some AK and AQs here that would check fold or bet-fold to a low flop.

The board came out 754r.  He cbet 1/2 pot, I minraised, he instajammed, I folded.  

Thoughts?

Good fold.

 An UTG open range should be pretty strong. Some players will cbet the flop with AK or AQ but I find that not many players are bluffing the turn with two overcards. Plus, with this narrow of a range, on this flop, AK and AQ are basically the only hands we beat. So I wouldn’t hate a fold on the flop either. But IMO, I think we should just call the flop, and fold to aggression on the turn.

Yeah, the main part I don’t like is the flop raise. I’d call planning to fold turn. Or if you really think he won’t bet AK/AQ on flop, you can fold there, but that’s dicey.

Even if you think he is a tight player, I think I would call his cbet. I wouldn’t re-raise. If he has AK or AQ he probably shuts it down and you hopefully get to showdown. If he bets again on the turn then your read of him as a tight player says to fold to a turn bet.

Of course I am assuming that his narrow range in your estimation from early position translates to traditional play postflop which is to cbet almost any flop and then shut it down when faced with resistance. If your read on him postflop is that he will multibarrel with air then it is a different story.

But assuming ABC play, I call the cbet. I don’t re-raise. As played I definitely fold when he jams.

Another vote for the call.  My experience is players this tight do bet their whiffed AK/AQ with pretty high regularity. They also don’t have well balanced Bet/Check lines.  Raising just forces them to play perfectly with their overcard hands.  Better to keep the pot small, and play perfectly against their turn unbalanced range (plus hit your 2 outer 4% of the time).
