$1-2NLI have $230 in front of me, guy to my left that ends up calling this has about $350 and is a pretty tight player.I had [Q][J] off suit and raised $12, and the player to my left called and we went heads up.The flop came [Q][10][4] I bet $22 he called. Turn came [Q] I bet $60 he took a lil while and he called.-------------------------------------------Ok so here are my thoughts, this guy is a tight player like he doesn't usually call when the board pairs unless he has a great hand, he doesnt chase draws too much.Now whats going in my mind before the river is, ok either he has KQ or KJ. If he has KQ im totally notched and there is not much I can do. Him calling this bet on the turn of $60 is making me not like my hand too much at all.----------------------------------------------Now the river comes [K] (no flushes hit), what would you do? Would you bet? how much?I checked.............after hearing some replies I will tell the rest of the action.

Sounds like he is worried about a better hand. Sounds like he might have KQ. Could be Q10 or QJ or AQ. Does he play rags from big blind? If you check any bet from him will probly make you fold, it also seems really weak too.I would bet $50 because it is enough for him to see ghosts and just call. Only a full house would re raise you and this bet would be cheaper then the stab at the pot your villian would make.

Okay, now he bets $150 and I have never seen him bluff, easy fold? call?

if you've never seen him bluff then the hands he is value betting beat you so fold

this hand is pretty read dependent, and if you dont think hes capable of bluffing here, then you fold. it really is based on how wide a range you put the villian on, and here it looks like KQ, AQ, 10 10.

It's one thing to make a raise with QJ. It's another to CALL it with worse than QJ. It's still another for a tight player to call it with worse.Fold.

This is a pretty tough spot, considering how tight this player seems to be, he has an excellent table image and you are so heavily invested in this hand alreadyso i missed a bit, did you check the river?? then he bet $150???very hard lay down, but there are enough hands that beat you to justify the foldcant say either way what i would do, he obviously knows you must have the Q so surely he would only bet if he had you beat

I havent read replies, but i will say 1 thing.Try not to invest lots of money on semi-crappy hands.Playing live and keeping a solid standard raise is good, even with hands like QJ, also buying position etc..HOWEVER!we dont know where u sit.. If you tell me you did this from early position i'll want to hit you.anyways, u are OOP now, but hit TP. the lead out c-bet is ok. (I'd probably check this flop to keep the pot low. )now the turn brings you trips.U bet out big again. at this point, ur basically getting 2 things 1 - He doesnt have a good enough hand and folds, and u miss some value on trips. or 2 - He calls and has you dominated.with my 1-2 live experience. (which is a fair amount) I'd easily put this guy on a set off the flop. if he had KQ, its safe to assume he would raise your c-bet on the flop. but h smooth called the flop and the turn. KJ is very loose, its possible, but thats where u need a solid read of the type of playeras its goin right now, i'd say ur being slow played.which is why i like keeping my pots small with marginal hands

It seems like most of the replies were uncertain like I was. I was def not feeling good about the hand and I thought for so long. I was running like **** that night and decided to call it. The main thing why I called was the size of the bet. He never really bets that much, $100 would be his normal bet or like $75, he is not a big aggresive player so the $150 just seemed too much.I called and he smiled and said "you're good" without even seeing my cards. I showed he said yep nice call.I asked him what he had he said "I....had a ......Jack" I was like "pocket jacks??" ...."no i had a jack...." than I joked and said "Jack ****???" and he laughed and said pretty much. So I can eliminate J9 because that would've been a straight, so maybe J8. It was a tough decision everyone at the table was like good call.But half of me said fold this hand fold this hand fold this hand, and than half of me said call it damn it. Tough decision, really good bet but the size of the bet stood out to me a lot and that's why I called.

No offence, but the results of him trying to bluff dont matter.The hand wasnt played very well, and IMO the call is going to lose more often than it wins vs bluffs.clearly this guy isnt as "tight" as you claimed, because no Tight player calls raises with J,x or tries to follow through a bluff from flop to finish.

exactly, no one here can really say that you should call based on the info that you give us. maybe if you had said that you had seen him in a lot of pots or if you had observed a physical tell on him when he is strong or weak and here he was weak, then the replies would be different.
