First off, if he's tight, why is he raising hands like JT EP, I didn't think that was considered tight.
So he doesn't cr here? You kind of spell out what happens, he folds whatever he had. He didn't have AK/AQ because he folded so he was calling with mid to low PP or KQ and when that A hit, he figured it was in your range.
Pretty good playing. It's important to know who can figure out your range and fold while at the same time putting them on a range that can fold to your range.
Well played.
I do agree with others, that the river bet should be larger, to make it less tempting for people to call you, but I guess if you know your opponent can fold to what looks like purely value bets, then this was played perfectly.

Just read the results. Lol
Yah, I would never have triple barreled against an unknown, generally if they're calling you on the turn, they'll call your river bets, even if the size is $100. These are the type of opponents we want to play fit or fold against for a while, until they have it burned in their brains that we are only betting for value, then we can start putting bluffs into our range. Value bet larger too as they will call it.
Another note, even against tight players, the whole purpose of a value bet is to get called. It's not a good idea to try and bluff with value sized bets, as by their nature, value bets are small enough to get called. Your sizing is perfect if you have a made hand but other wise whose going to fold to it with a PP? The Ace is a good scare card for good 2p2ers who can fold...
What's your range that your value betting with on the flop and turn?
On the flop he's losing to:
AJ, 66, JJ, QQ, KK, KJ, JQ, JT. He's beating hands like AK, AQ, KQ, KT, KJ, QT, Q9, 99, 88, 77, 55, 33, 22
On the turn he's losing to:
AJ, 66, JJ, QQ, KK, JQ, JT, 44. He's beating AK, AQ, AT, QK, KT, KJ, QT, Q9, 99, 88, 77, 55, 33, 22
And now finally on the river,
AK, AQ, AT, AJ, 66, JJ, QQ, KK, JQ, JT, 44. He's beating, QK, KT, KJ, QT, Q9, 99, 88, 77, 55, 33, 22.
He has plenty of equity to call, especially with your 1/2 pot sized bets. He should call you always. He also now knows you can triple barrel air. This is bad for you. You need to balance your nuts to air ratio, as he's always going to call you down now.
