Here is a hand that I know could use a ton of improvement. I believe my fold was way too tight.
All i know about the villain is that he is relatively tight; I only have 86 hands with him.

(UTG): 23.8 BB (VPIP: 90.00, PFR: 70.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 11)
(MP):125 BB
Villain (CO): 411BB (VPIP: 17.65, PFR: 14.12, 3Bet Preflop: 7.32, Hands: 86)
(BTN) 104 BB
(SB) 100 BB
Hero (BB): 193.8 BB


Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has [Kd] [Kc]
UTG calls 1 BB, fold, CO raises to 4.5 BB, fold, fold, Hero raises to 16 BB, fold, CO calls 11.5 BB

Flop : (33.5 BB, 2 players) [4d] [6h] [2d]
Hero bets 15 BB, CO calls 15 BB

Turn : (63.5 BB, 2 players) [3h]
Hero bets 40 BB, CO calls 40 BB

River : (143.5 BB, 2 players) [5d]
Hero checks, CO bets 45 BB, fold

CO wins 136.4 BB

For this hand I put my opponent on QQ+ and AQs+. He seemed pretty tight and rarely ever raised (Never saw anything he raised with). What threw me off was how small his bet on the river was, I wasn't sure if it was a value bet or if it was a timid bet. I also believe that I way overvalued my kings.
I have never really experienced a situation specifically like this and I was wondering in what ways I could have improved.
I'm also a pretty new player so any help would be appreciated!

Call its extremely hard for 7 and we block a few flush combos which follow through with preflop action

U prob folded to qq or jj

Slow played aces we chop..

So its hard not to.chop its cheap enough


You mentioned hes extremely tight... given his small size it looks more like a probe.

Given the action we have something and if we have enough we could def shove on river and make it look trappy.

The more dangerous the board the harder for tight guy to call... its called denying a chop

I would like to point out that with nearly 200 effective bb, his range is probably wider than what you stated, he could flat with any pp and some axs hands.

Anyway, bet the river like he did, fold to a raise.

I would usually 4bet Kings preflop. Would have made your decision on the river easier because it will narrow down his range.
