Default I make 2 pair on the river and I\'m a lil lost

Villain is a pretty TAGGY 16/14/2. Against a Laggy player river is an easy value raise for me. Against this tight of a player is calling my only option? Whose raising and what worse hands call? Is anyone folding?

Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.25/$0.50 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $205.61
BB: $41.90
UTG: $58.24
Hero (MP): $81.48
CO: $49.25
BTN: $59.77

Preflop: Hero is dealt Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (6 Players)
UTG folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $2.00</font>, 3 folds, BB calls $1.50

Flop: ($4.25) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($4.25) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">BB bets $4.00</font>, Hero calls $4.00

River: ($12.25) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">BB bets $8.00</font>, Hero....

As another poster said, c-bet the flop (especially against this tight a player.) He may fold. Also, if he has two hearts you just let him draw for free to his flush.

As played I just call the river.

Call. You are definitely too strong to be folding this. Raising is no good though because you only get called be better hands.

Wouldn't a tight player be less likely to fold this flop?

He will call very often with PP's, overcards he will fold. But he will have to give up often, if an overcard shows up on the turn/river and you it them properly. I think villain has a low set here. Results please?

You haven't given Villain any indication that you have a hand. Easy call.

BTW, why no c-bet?

is his range strictly sets/straight here? will he ever show up with AK or something like that?
