Re: too weak tight?
 

Depends on the player. He took a bet/call check/raise line, usually indicitive of something strong, but he may have just decided to make a move with a big heart. It's really tough for me to say either way, but the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] was the worst card in the deck for you, but maybe he knows that.

OK, I'm not sure, what's SOP against an unknown? I'd be inclined to fold, but I could be convinced by more experienced posters.

I don't think this is too weak/tight at all. I think a fold is good here. You can't beat top pair with a 3-flush onboard against a pre-flop raiser. You don't even have the 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Unless he's a loose raiser I'd say you're ahead of only KQ, which still has outs against you and he check/raised. Lay it down.

Yes, but not in your post-Flop play. 3-bet or fold pre-Flop. Post-Flop is fine.

Good eye, that one slipped by me. I agree completely. I fold against a tight raiser and reraise a loose raiser (obviously); absent a read I got about 70/30 folding/re-raising. I like to mix it up.

not 3-betting preflop is a crime against humantiy.
