Judging your hand strength on different boards

[Dr_Chris]

semi related; tight players seem to bet about 15% of flops while a large group bet about 30% and some very aggresive players like 50%+ of the flops they see. Any thought to what this may mean? would a bet from the tight player mean 2 pair or better made hand or a strong draw while 30% would be any pair or better and any draw?

Interpreting flop betting without the context of preflop raising and position is difficult. That said, a difference between the tighter players and the others is probably that tighter players are much less likely to bet out their flush draws on the flop.

Ironically, I think that the bet/call/fold lines for draws can be mixed. Namely, superstrong draws (14+ nut outs) are usually bet. Medium draws (9-13 nut outs) are calls and weak draws (8 outs or less hu) are bet/fold (I don't mean that they should always be bet, but that calling with weak draws is a very risky proposition).

tight players usually bet when they hit the flop hard, like 2 pair+ or a good draw. agressive players bet when they hit something or they were the preflop agressor and the board is good for a continuation bet (usually against 1 or maximal 2 players only) or on the flop everybody checked and now the turn is a rag or pairs a card.
