Texas Hold'em No Limit EUR 0,10/0,20 - 8 player table, currently 5 players

Reads on villain: seems pretty solid but have seen some bluffs lately

Players:
btn (EUR 28,88)
hero (SB) (EUR 11,47)
villain (BB) (EUR 34,07)

hero was dealt: 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif - 9/images/graemlins/club.gif
2 players fold; btn Call; hero Call; villain Check

Flop (€0.6, 3 players) 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif - 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif - 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif
hero Bet (0,32); villain Call; btn Fold

- is flop bet a bit on the light side? Maybe I should bet 0.45 (75%) if I decide to bet?

------------------------------------------------------
Turn (€1.24, 2 players) 8/images/graemlins/club.gif
hero Bet (0,95); villain Raise (3,00); hero Call (2,05)

- Great two pair against a random hand! What, I'm getting raised alot. Overpair? TPTK? Another two pair? Set? Straight? Bluff?
I don't know if I'm ahead or behind so I call to see the river.

------------------------------------------------------
River (€7.24, 2 players) 3/images/graemlins/club.gif
hero Check; villain Bet (3,75); hero Call

- bah, another big bet. Probably not a bluff then. I'm not happy about the river bet. But I have top two pair so I call and pray to the gods.

What does villain have and what are your opinions on the play?

flop bet should be about 75% of the pot. In a limped pot at these stakes the villain with have top pair or a random two pair most of the time in this situation. I would be very tempted to get this all in on the turn.

I have played about 20 000 hands at this level and most of the time when a Tight solid player plays like this he has an overpair or a set.

But this time he is in BB so that makes it harder to read him.

Do you ever bet below 75% with TP if you decide to bet?
Let's say the flop is K83 rainbow and you have KQ how much do you bet then?

Bet bigger on the flop like you suggested. I get this all-in on the turn since there's too good of a chance you see a worse two pair here. He may have had a flush draw with a gutshot with a hand like T7/images/graemlins/spade.gif or 75/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
