Flatting vs this villain's UTG open is fine given he'll continue only with QQ+ and AK vs a 3bet, a range which QQ only has 40% equity against which he'll 4bet and put hero in a difficult spot, and he'll fold all his other hands and all we'll do is scoop up his opening bet and the blinds, wasting the potential value of a monster hand such as QQ. Also by flatting we keep his range the widest and allow for other villains to squeeze whom we may be more comfortable stacking off against. That being said, flatting QQ+, AK is also standard in this spot imo unless you have some reads that he likes to stack off light.
