Villain looks nitty over small sample.
I don't think he's shoving the river with any value hand worse than AQ. Does that reasoning makes this a good fold?
On the other hand: I 3B pre, make top pair on a dry board and keep putting money in the pot on Flop and Turn so does that makes this a bad fold?

What do you think about checking flop? Gives him the chance to bluff his weak hands. I don't know if we can get 3 streets of value here anyway.

Hi,

pre flop looks good.

Post flop I seen two okay plans. First is to bet flop and turn and x/f river. AQ has certaintely 2 streets of value here against second pairs and AT/AJ. River we cannot really value bet again against this tight player so check, you'll win very often when it goes check-check (which will be most of the time), when villain bets he doesn't really have any bluffs, so x/f is fine.

Other plan is to x/c flop, which is okay but it's quite ineffective if villain doesn't start bluffing KQ here, we just loose value against 88-JJ and worse Ax.

Betting flop and checking turn it's the least good option because now villain does not have one bluff to make on the turn after calling flop, so he will just play perfectly with his range, and we are screw.

There's absolutely no need to reraise AQo out of position (CO is quite unknown, also seems tight), and BB seems fishy, so you shouldn't worry about the squeeze.
And what happened postflop is the perfect example, why you shouldn't reraise out of position.

Postflop I think you played good, usually I choose the same line against aggressive opponents. If opponent is passive - then you shouldn't check the turn.
