If the tight guy raises then for me insta fold, not trying to gamble on what if. Done it way too many times in cash games. Specially if the guy who raised after flop is tight he to me has hit his trips.
But then again like gametime said it does depend on how well the cards have been to you. If you have been lucky to be catching your str8's then why not gamble it.

Gametime has a valid point it depends on how you've been playing and how the other players have been playin the last half or so...It also depends if the tight player just sat down or if the asian just got to table etc. The tight player could have trips but it would be of the middle pair or bottom pair not the queens. It is also very possible that the tight player has a medium pair of like pocket 8s (or any two cards for that matter but since he's tight he wouldn't have called $15 pre with any two cards) and is attempting a squeeze play which is likely in this type of situation..There is a lot of money out there, he knows the BB is trying to steal the pot right there and is weak...he re-raises 3.5x the initial bet to get out the raiser which in turn would force the caller (jerseyshore) out of the hand as well..to take down the pot easily right there...Its an easy play if the table views you as a real tight player like that.

So many variables to be considered here. How much you are up or down, how much it will cost you on the turn or river, how healthy your bankroll is, how long you have been sitting at the table winning or losing, your stack compared to your opponents stacks, if your girlfriend isn't mad at you, if you have been eating healthy meals, if you worked out that day etc... I believe that 99% of live poker situations are unique. There's never two situations that are the same. So it's very hard to even make an opinion on what to do in this particular situation. So many variables that aren't accounted for. Anyway...personally? I fold to the $65 post-flop bet or raise $180-$220 on top of the $65 and truly commit yourself regardless of any persons actions thereafter. BOOM!
