I folded the QQ hand

The 2nd hand I just called. My plan was to push all in on any blank turn and there are quite a few of them. The turn was the giving me a flush draw to go wth my straight. He bet $95 and I pushed. He called with JT (which pretty much confirmed to me that my QQ fold was correct. I really doubt he was anything but a set) and the river gave me the flush.

i got a question about Hand1 : i realize that because he is a tight player you see his raise as a set holding.
i usually think that in similar situation people who raise more than 3 time my bet are either drawing or protecting small 2 pairs, in your experience is it the wrong way to look at it?

Tight players rarely raise without a very good hand. I doubt hes raising with a draw. in fact, the only draws are 87 and 54 and I didnt think he would even call a raise with those hands. if he has 2 small pair (which is doubtful on this flop), he still has me in trouble. Basically, I think he has a set or possibly TT, but didnt want to risk any money against a guy that tight who really likes his hand.

You notice in the 2nd hand, he raised quite a bit less with 2 pair, than he did in the 1st hand. He shouldve raised alot more (if he was going to raise) since the board was so draw heavy.
