I feel like I'm missing some value for fear of towning myself in these spots. I'm not sure if I helped myself or not with my solid read that this tight player was strong in this hand.
Action: Folds to me in MP, 9-handed table. I have   and raise to $15. Button calls, tight player in SB calls, BB folds. Stacks: SB $350, me $460, Button has $300 ish.
Pot: $48
Flop:   
SB made a seemingly reflexive move toward his chips, stopped himself, thought a minute, then checked. He was the tightest player on the table, and I was 100% sure he was going to check-raise if I bet. I check, button checks.
Turn: 
SB bets $40, I see the button is making premature folding motion. This is probably a raise but I elected to just call.
River: a blank, can't remember exactly, a small black card.
SB bets $100.
Folding is obviously not an option, yet I feel calling is meh. On the other hand if I raise I don't think he ever folds a better hand and I don't think he ever has AJ-.

Eck. Probably call and hope he rolls over KQ. I think you played it fine.

Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

Folding is an option, raising would be really silly.
His range is like Flushes, sets, JT and Two Pair?
How loose does he call out of his blinds?

My first instinct was actually to fold but I sorta slapped myself. I realized he has very few flushes here other than precisely QdJd or JdTd, I was pretty sure his range was pretty tightly AK/KQ/33, and who knows, maybe a smallish chance of a AJ/AT type hand.
He had shown up with subpar holdings (A4, 76) in late position but wasn't calling raises very often and had folded the SB in limped pots a few times, so I don't think he's calling light out of the SB.

I feel like such a station, Fnord's always telling me to fold when I obviously called. Except when I fold and Fnord tells me to call.

He's a nit, there are 3 broadways on board and a flush out there too and he's betting a lot of money. Don't like your hand. I think you're good sometimes, but not often enough.
