Final Pot: $4.95

He was 6.5/6.5 after 62 hands.
I reraised AK, because if I just call the hand is hard to play. Should I really cbet this flop?
The player seems to be extremly tight and he raised UTG. So he should have something like TT+ or AK. On that flop he will continue playing with everything, except JJ.
Is a cbet the right action in this spot?

I think he won't fold JJ most of the times on this flop either. Therefore, giving you're range for him pre-flop, I'd call pre-flop (there's no point in raising as you're not raising for value, as a bluff and so on. You can name it as raising as a semi-bluff but that's quite -EV) and check/fold this flop as played.

I'm pretty confident it is not a huge mistake either way but I'd most likely check that flop since he is such a huge nit and it's going to connect with him in some way. Chances are he has QQ or something like that. There's only 1, maybe 2, unpaired hands that we can fold out on the flop with that c-bet and all of the rest are getting us into big trouble.

Although, again, not a huge mistake if he could be raising lower PP's UTG (you need a read or a bigger sample).
