Intro
This hand needs a small introduction. Yesterday I played at a table at titanpoker, and
chatted some with a player DjZab he told me that he knows pokerstrategy. Howewer he seemed to be playing tight-agressive, a strategy like given in teh silver shoorthanded articles. Today I met him again.

The hand

Titan poker 0.50$/1.00$ fixed limit hold'em (5 players)
DjZab is BU with XX
(I'd really like to know what he had so comment plz hand no. 863281823)
Me CO with Ts Kh

Preflop
UTG folds, CO raises 1$ BU raises 1.5$ SB folds BB folds CO calls 1.5$
total pot: 3.75$

-first in cutoff minimum raising hand is KTo
-1 raise(CO) pot-entering minimum hand can be 66 KJ QJ AJ or JJ

Flop 6d 6h Jc
-CO cheks thinking about raising, but with I high chance the respond would be a re-raise and that would be absolutely uncallable
-BU raises 0.5$
-CO thinks about re-raise bluffing (I was nearly sure that he missed the flop, because 66 or JJ I'ld call a bad-beat, and a tight player wouldn't re-raise KJ QJ preflop... maybe AJs),
but 0.5$ re-raising wouldn't be enogh to bluff, and the silver strategy articles, which he reported to be good yesterday sais to call with strong hands on the flop, in order to raise the turn. And if BU totally missed the flop and the turn is a 9, Q or A I might have a straight draw and see the river for 0.5$ if BU us afraid of a 6 (I could have A6 if I play loose) and checks the turn not to give me a chance of check-raising. This means I could win on the turn with a check raising bluff if he raises, and on the showdown if I hit a straight or a king. So if I call now, there's no good play on the turn for BU, if he hasn't got a 6 or J(AA...). So CO calls 0.5$
total pot:4.75$

Turn 6d 6h Jc 5c
-CO checks, no more straight possibility maybe a king
-BU raises 1$
-CO (instant quickly) reraises 2$
-BU (thinking a lot) folds
total pot:7.45$

Winner is Spadesall 7.45$(bet:4$)

I'ld really like to get a lot of comments on this hand because I have no other opinions than written here, and if DjZab checks this I'ld like to know what he had in pocket.

I like the way how you try to analyse your hand and the range what your opponent may have.
But I think you forgot a few hands because you calculated with always the minimum hands he might have. But he will 3-bet all stronger hands as well like 77-AA which all won't fold and have you beat.

Normally the people on this limit call to much which is also against your move but you know him as tight so from this points it would be ok.

Altogether I wouldn't recommend you to do such moves on this limit. His range is way to strong so often he will simple call you down.
