4 folds, Hero calls t50 (pot was t150), BB checks.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (t200, 2 players)

Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (t600, 2 players)

River: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (t1200, 2 players)
Hero checks, BB checks.

The villain is a tight player. Raise the turn or smooth-calling is OK? What about a river check?

i would fire on the river. after you call his 300 bet he is giving you credit for a hand. most players would not bluff here so this is not a good spot for a check call IMO. you betting an him folding is the same result in a showdown after check check

Against a tight player they are most likely going to check behind without an ace. I'd probably do a bet just a little bit larger than his turn bet - it could be a bluff steal, it could be a medium pair, etc. and he may look you up. Even if he doesn't look you up often at all it's still probably more often than he tries bluffing at the river.

Small value bet on this river, like t300 or 350. No reason for check against a tight player in this spot.

I like to check on the flop so he can bluff at it. If you bet 200 like you did he's not going to call you unless he has an A or an 2. He probably doesn't have a pocket pair because he didnt raise you PF. If he checks behind on the flop bet the turn. Bet the river for sure.
