Default HU against tight thinking player

As the subject says, villian is a tight thinking player, knows how to get away from a hand, and is pretty average passive-aggressively, maybe slightly aggressive. He's aware that i'm an aggressive player.
note: this is a different opponent than the one from the previous hand, despite the similar setup

5 handed

I have QcTc
I raise, 3 folds, Villian calls in BB

Flop Qs Ts 3d
check, I bet, Villian raise, i call

Turn 7h
Villian bets, i raise, villian calls

River Ad
villian checks, i check

Yeah, okay. KJ is 16 combos, and KQ/QJ is also 16 combos. This is too narrow of a range, I think, but we're 50/50 so far. AQ is 6 more combos we lose to, though Villain quite likely would have 3-bet that preflop at this 5-handed table. Meanwhile, Villain will probably pay off with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] X [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], when he has that. But AT (6 combos) can't be ruled out. JT/KT (16 combos) could be payoff hands, but maybe that ace will be the thing that makes Villain decide to lay those down.

I probably would have made an auto-pilot bet, but the decision does seem closer to me now than it did at first. I still think I like a bet, though. I wouldn't like getting check-raised, but I would call, hoping for something like AJ.

Do we really think that villian is not on hands like QJ, Q9, Q8s often enough for us to value bet this?

He could. And I think we'll get paid off if he holds the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
