Default 200NL - TPTK facing resistance, how\'s my line?

Villain in this hand is FundMyAudi, who's one of the better regulars at this level. He's 15/12 and fairly aggressive. I'm running about 18/15 on this table, and we haven't tangled too much yet. I'm not 100% sure what his UTG limping range is, but I'm putting him on low pocket pairs and suited connectors. I think he could be raising me here on the flop with a set, a weak pair, a draw, and possibly air, so I think my best flop line is to call and re-evaluate on the turn. When the turn bricked, I wasn't quite sure of what line to take. I decided to CRAI and try to catch a draw, but his half-pot bet also made me a bit suspicious that he wanted action, and I felt kind of spewy. In retrospect, would leading the turn have been better? Or some other line entirely?

I have always thought villan was pretty bad; nitty and predictable. Without your read, I don't know if I even call Audi's flop raise. I just checked and I have a note that he plays draws passively in position and aggressive oop, so I would probably lay this one down on the flop. I would def fold the turn, but then again maybe I'm completely wrong about villan.

I don't think he would limp/call pre with QQ+. I think a combo draw is a good part of his range so the turn crai looks good.

please pm me the result if he called.

He's definitely a huge nit, but I thought he wasn't too bad postflop. I could be wrong though, I don't have a whole lot of experience with him.

I see him doing this with AA or a set. He bet less than half the pot on the turn. Does he want you to fold? Doubtful.

That's why his bet made me suspicious. On the other hand, there isn't much point to calling the flop raise if I'm going to fold to a half-pot bet on a total brick of a turn. That's why I was curious about possible alternate lines.

I fold on the turn as i think he would likely be overbetting a combo draw or checking it behind.Vilain will show you a set so many times here.
I fold turn.
