Looked like an AQ to me

So why the flop raise? It looks like SB's really not afraid of you and I'd suspect AK[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]/AQ[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 99, or a bigger pocket after he leads into your pf-cap. You're not looking so hot against this range.

HU, I just call this down. But I have 2 b/d draws and I could still have the best hand.

You capped PF and he still led into you on the flop. With your read theres a much better chance you are behind. And the fact that he likes his hand enough to lead into a PF capper diminishes almost any shot of you getting a free card on the turn for any of your draws.

I don't have a read, though, I guess most tight players are also passive. FWIW, I do think you're right.

Your backdoors are pretty close to worthless, though; you're drawing to a perfect-perfect backdoor straight and a one-card 5th-nut flush. IMO your equity is too low to raise even with the monkey in the middle padding the pot.
