Passive table 9 or 10 handed. Villain is pretty much the only other player at the table who raises PF (rarely) ... for a live player he's pretty tight. I've been raising in late position and showing down suited connectors and whiffed overs when everyone folds to my c-bet.

On to the hand ...

Preflop
One limper UTG
Hero raises to $12 with J J in MP. I have $325 and cover the table.
Villain calls in CO with ~$130 stack
Blinds fold and limper folds

Flop Pot ~$26
5 Q Q

Hero bets $20, Villain raises to $60, Hero?

I'm assuming this is a difficult decision since no one has posted a response. My thoughts were that this player might be decent (as evidenced by tight play) and so might figure that I would hold trash here a good amount of the time. I figured he was trying to push me off the pot and perhaps had a flush draw himself. The only made hands I could put him on were:

55
AQ
KQ
possibly QJ but unlikely

Reasonable?

In hopes of creating a gambl0r image so that the players at the other end of the table (the blinds and UTG in this hand) would quit folding all the time. It's ok to take their money $2 at a time but really I'd like to create some profitable situations on the turn/river and I can't do that if they're folding pre-flop. So I'll show down some trashy suited double gappers when everyone folds to my pre-flop raise. I was trying to isolate the blinds and the limper in this hand and was surprised when the tight player behind me called.

This isn't standard? What should I do differently to try and get one of them into a pot?
