I have no reads of that opponent, but he seems to be almost thight.

During the session, the table changed: The medium stacks are gone and it looks like Small Stack against Big Stack. The Big Stacks did not play against each other, from that time I moved to the table. That was the first confrontation with to Big Stacks.

You are commited on the turn if you call. So push or fold. I don't see many hands you are ahead of that he could raise from utg+1 and call this raise with except maybe JJ, TT, KQs. I think you are behind an A or even a set here and I'd fold.

[Esmerelda]

I might bet full pot on flop, not to push him out but to extract from AQ, JJ, TT and flush draws.

The flop call looks a lot like AK or AQ, a weaker PP or a draw, but this is pretty villain dependent at this point. I would expect AA or QQ to come over the top but villains slowplay a lot here. You made a solid 3bet pf so most villains have a good starting hand but not necessarily if you haven't got a read. A generic range for someone who seems tight at this level might be 99+, AK, AQ or so but it could be a lot wider (on rare occassions tighter).

Now his turn lead looks a lot like AK, AQ or AA, QQ waking up. This is a bad board for kings and if you call the bet you are in for your stack, against an unknown I would usually lay this one down. But I can't fault you for seeing it through.
