MP ($195.50)

4 folds, Hero raises to $4, BB calls $3.

Flop: ($8) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)

Hero checks, BB bets $16, Hero calls $16.

River: ($68) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $24, Hero calls $24.

BB is 17.6/4.7/3.65 through 806 hands. He's decent, very tight-aggressive and we've tended to stay away from each other. Several times I've seen him flat call a raise preflop and then raise the flop or turn, so he seems to be passive preflop and aggressive postflop.

How should I have played it? Fold turn?

Turn and river bets are so small that I dont think you can fold.

My guess is he had KQ, got lucky on the turn and then made nice value bets to get paid off.

Anyone else 3bet flop? Or does this force villain to play correctly?

I dont think folding is the right plan unless you know that king gave him 2 pair...I do think you need to look to 3bet the flop though...against somebody who is fairly tight like him you are WA in this situations

What does a TAG call a flop 3bet with that I beat? KQ/QJ?

Doesn't 3betting the flop let my opponent play perfectly?

I donk think 3betting flop is good. Only cards that kill ur action are 8, A, or K IMO, which only hit the turn bout 25% of the time at best. I'd probably c/r turn and pot any safe riv. If you put him on JQ or QK, I don't think he'd be able to fold to that line. 3betting flop folds out many hands we would normaly get good value from IMO.
