Default Re: weak tight at 1/2 6max?

I don't know about the use of the term "weak-tight" here. It's not weak-tight to know that you often have little-to-no fold equity against calling stations and to play accordingly.

Generally, I don't like checking the flop after raising, because it just makes my hand too easy to read. Even fish will soon notice that you check the flop when you missed and bet the flop when you hit. Against calling stations, though, you need to be less assertive on the turn when you don't improve. These kinds of players love to call with anything which is why your fold equity is so low, but they also love to give free cards. So while you would sometimes go ahead and bet the turn against tighter or more aggressive opponents, it makes sense to check more often against looser and more passive opponents.
