This should be an easy call?

So... here is the hand: https://www.boomplayer.com/29430875_E6A4B93773

I just called because against a UTG open raise and with position I feel confortable with just call. And in zoom people tend to make a lot of SQZ.

Ok so here is what I thought when I analized the hand off the table.
Villian could never have a bluff playing like this. I know this because in this levels noone 3 barrells this kind of boards with air.

I'm sure he is value betting. Now, What he could possibly be value betting with this line?
In his range of OPR preflop some people feel confortable open all kind of suited Aces and some open 22 also. So... Hands he could possible have playing this way: pocket douces (1 combo), A6s (2 combos), pockect sixes (3 combos), A5 of spades (1 combo), AK (6 combos) and maybe he could be betting AQ (8 combos) because as I didn't 3bet preflop he is never putting me in AK?.

That being said, there is 7 combos out of a total of 21 that win me, that means I'm 2:1 favorite of AT LEAST TIE THE HAND. And with his river bet he is giving me 2,5:1 pot odds. So, what you think? Should I be folding here if I have a read that the player is very nit and he is not value betting AQ in this spot?

I quite like 3betting in this spot but calling is fine.
I'd have raise on the turn. Don't be paranoid. It'll often be AK indeed but he can have AQ etc. and 22 is so unlikely (one combo and he has to open it from UTG). If he opens 22 from UTG then he isn't that much of a nit and you can decently hope to value AQ anyway.

Triple check-call works as a bluff catch (although I don't think he has many here).
I think you call exclude high pairs (TT to KK). He has at least an ace in this spot most of the times, specially because is opened from UTG where rangs contain mostly aces.
Facing a turn raise with TP OOP is always a tough spot and you'll put him on a very tough decision. Well, if he 3bets OTT... you are on the tough spot.
River isn't really a street to raise after his 3 barrels and your hand as a lot of showdown value but won't be value anything with a raise here. Is he expecting you to call a weaker ace OTR? Maybe.
I like how you played it, but I'm not sure if a raise OTT wouldn't be better if he calls it.

It's a spot where i correctly or incorrectly use the term mixed strategy .Without info i'm pretty indifferent to flatting or 3betting. With info i always 3bet vs fish flat vs tighter players and mix it up with either a flat or 3bet vs regs tags/lags.
