Limp, raise, I three bet red kings, call, tight big blind caps. 5 ways, 20 sb

Flop is 8

Big blind bets, fold, I raise, folds around to big blind who calls.

Turn is A

Big blind checks.

Anyone what to venture as to why?

Dude capped out of the big blind. What’s his range and how is it doing against mine? He really should only have one hand that beats me.

What he has is one thing. What he continues with facing your bet is another.

You posted the hand. Seems you should be the one proposing a range and a rationale for betting. Given the action, BB's most likely hand is AK. It all flows from there.

Super easy bet. Tight BB is gonna have TT-QQ here a lot. Does he really cap AK and then donk onto the field? Plus you have the Kh

Seems like an easy bet to me.

On a blank river after he check-calls I'm a little more torn as I probably don't have many bluffs left at that point so I can be swayed based off how willing he is to pay-off/lay-down QQ,JJ,TT,99,KcKs. If he wouldn't cap AJs or AQs for value pre in this spot might want to bet the river too.

I prefer to bet/fold the turn and bet/fold the river against this guy. A tight player is going to be pretty face up. I would expect him to have TT-QQ most of the time. Some tight players will exclusively have QQ here which is pretty funny. Hopefully he thinks we are a little spewy and calls us twice.

Ya, I missed the turned flush draw when I posted that. After he check-raises the turn, I am just folding the river since he has AK with maybe an occasional fancy AA.

Yeah, I folded the river. I think he only has those two hands
