No biggy. I know it's common slang around here to equate weak/tight with female. It's always bothered me, and I just picked on you because your title made it weirdly explicit.

I, too, thought hand 3 was a typo. Looking at it again, I think my default play would be to not fold to the turn raise. Just because I feel like I'm ahead here enough of the time against typical players.

There's a lot of conflicting stuff going on in this hand - turn raises are usually bigger deals than flop raises, the pot size is small so you should be less likely to call down, the turn didn't bring any obvious draws for him to be semi-bluffing, these are all reasons to fold.

But you have a reasonably solid pair heads up in a short-handed game against an unknown opponent and that's a good reason not to fold. I'm guilty of extremely lazy poker and in this case I'm letting the rule of thumb "don't fold a pair heads up" play the hand for me.
