Default NL10 KQs, top pair good kicker

This guy is actually reasonably TAG, stats at the time were 18/11/2 from memory, and he's on a few tables.

I'd seen him geniunely re-raise with QQ, so wasn't too threatened by the min-raise, but also didn't feel KQs was quite in my range to 3 bet, though against a tight player it's probably not a bad opportunity for one.

This is why calling a 3bet preflop with KQs is not good. You gotta put AK in his range bigtime here IMO. In light of that I think your flop RR is not warranted. As far as what you should do I have no idea. Ask Wota, JHarding, or David on that one.

Obv you have to call the re raise PF unless you put his min re raise on an absurdly tight range of KK+.

From my experience, small PF raise followed by big flop bet is normally a very big hand. With a PFR of 11% his re raising range can be quite wide like mine but I guess as his VPIP is 18 he isn't aggressive enough to be re raising light. Also, we need to factor in the fact he min 3bet us. I think a reasonable range for his hand pre flop is 99+ and ATs+.

The board is very draw heavy which makes this a lot harder to play. If it was much drier then we could call the flop, peel a card and see what happens on the turn. As it is, I think calling is our worst option. Folding isn't terribly nitty but I think given that he started the hand with 50BB's I play it like you did and stack off. Our post flop stack to pot ratio of about 4 is very good for our hand. I definitely think that at this level he can call with worse.
