Default Re: Is this too weak tight?

[ QUOTE ]
After the flop your play is fine but you really should be raising the nut fulls on the flop some of the time. I expect he showed down AA or possibly KK since you're asking if your play was too weak tight.

He did show down KK88 - for 9s full of kings.

There are plenty of times I raise the nut full on the flop, I just felt I could get more out of raising it on the turn.

That was just an ugly Turn card I didn't want to see. It seems like giving my flop check/call - my turn and river were correct.

I felt this hand was too strong to lay down to those bets, but part of me thought he was trapping. And even if he did plan to re-raise with just Kings full, I would have had to lay down to any raise by him, which is why I kept check/calling.

Adding - it's easy to say I should have raised this up on the flop, but then if he folds to my raise, you wonder if you could have gotten more. So there are downsides to both plays.
