Villain in this hand is a 14/12 nit with a 20% ATS. Button and SB are both nits with less than 12 VPIP so I dont expect overcalls. SB is kinda tight but shovey which I dont mind at all, especially with relative position when he does. Ive been playing pretty tight but with a tonne of stealing from the CO and button (like 22/20) and some double barrelling at decent turns/ raising some cbets on decent flops with air/floating decent flops and generally trying to steal anything I think I can get away with.
I feel like a 3bet is going to fold all villains AQ/AJ type hands, and Im really not going to love being 4bet. I elect to call with position to keep his range wide and hopefully win the most and lose the least.
So Question 1: Is this fine?
Question 2: When the flop is K high rather than A high, im aiming for value from KQ and midpairs, and I dont think ill get a tonne from KQ anyway if I go for potsize bets. I dont think he has many flush draws in his range and if it comes and he bets/raises he is never bluffing. When he checks the turn with a flush draw out I think hes usually itching to fold. I chose to size so that I can hopefully get calls from underpairs as well as KQ if he has it. The river obviously makes this even more important since I split with any K. Good?

One final question for other people playing in these games on stars at the moment. Are they always so nitty? The average vpip seems to go down by about 10% from 25NL to 50NL.
