how to play vs an utg open

say villain is a tight utg opener, say 16/14

what do u do w/KQ in MP? (bad relative position)
KQ on button?

what are the merits for flatting and 3betting

we have some of the blockers against premium hands

we reduce 1/2 combos of KK or QQ
reduces 1/4 combos of Kx and Qx

by flatting we can steal from hands that might other wise 4bet us pre
ex. we can float Axx and steal from KK and QQ

or raise 832r flops folding out his AK or AQ?

pot control and value bet vs JJ on Qxx or Kxx

we dont auto stack off if we hit either
