Hero has $160 behind, foe covers. Only played a few orbits with foe, who has called a little thin on the flop a couple times but appears to tighten up considerably on later streets.

Tighten up his calling or raising? Do you mean that he tends to float and then check behind?

[liquid]

I wouldn't expect him to bet anything I'm beating on this turn. I'd seen him check behind with a rivered top set on a straightened board, and I'd seen him almost time out before calling a 1/2-pot bet with the third-nut flush on the river. In both cases, given the action, his opponent was very unlikely to be ahead.

If he checked behind here he may have 89T or a weaker two pair, w/ or w/o picking up a flush draw. (Edit: He'd also pass a lot of these hands if I bet the turn.)

[wazz]

Well I'm sure he calls with a few good draws/combo draws/two pair like AJ with some sort of draw on the turn, as long as you price him in. The stack sizes are awkard, but I think you can get away with betting $40 and folding to a raise.

Bet 35-50. Fold to a reraise. You're not beating a lot here.
