Re: Right or Wrong
 

If I understand you correctly, after your raise he would owe $60 for a $230 pot. That is almost 1-4 pot odds. If he has something he could call just to see what kind of bullet you are going to fire on the turn, plus he may improve his hand (outside chance) even though the pot odds do not allow for calling only to improve if he knows he is beat. I agree with with the poster that suggested a higher raise. Then be done with it unless you have a reliable tell.

Re: Right or Wrong
 

Someone once said that there are three types of tight players:

Weak-tight
Tight-agressive
Turtles: they get a good hand preflop, and play so few hands overall they stubbornly put all their chips in despite all evidence they are beat.

You can't take turtles off hands.
