what read do you have to call him weak-tight?

He went to showdown once in 45 hands when his K3 checked from the BB caught the incredible flop of KK3. I should have included this in my OP, but all I had in my notes as I played this hand was "weak tight". I had to go back to my PT database and try to figure out why I may have formed that opinion.

The preflop limp is fine after two limpers, especially a loose-passive one, as long as your postflop play is good enough that you're not bleeding money as a result.

Good flop raise - there is a very good chance you have the best hand, and you have a gutshot and a backdoor flush draw as well.

Raise the turn. You have no idea how your hand holds up compared to the maniac, but your increase in equity heads up vs. the maniac is more than enough to justify the extra BB going in.

I agree with the flop raise, I think you showed your dominance and there is a great chance this flop didn't hit anyone else. I would like to have seen that raise on the turn for the same reasons, you would weed out the rest except the maniac, who obviously plays eraticly, so their is a good chance he is on a long shot draw or even calling what he thinks is a bluff, but still he holds nothing (my favorite style of player.)

All I get from that is that he's, in fact, a rock. I'd like to have seen him play aggro preflop and flop and then fold the turn or river to aggression before I label him weak.
