I'm not a big fan of the flop call for several reasons:

1) The player you read as tight is making a significant bet.

2) SB was still yet to act. (Probably not going to raise, but it is still a consideration.)

3) If the turn is a 9, you have the sucker end of the straight.

I would never call on the turn. How many outs do you have at this point? Let it go.

He bet 3/4 of the pot on the flop and you have a gutshot. FOLD. The turn bet looks weak, but he could easily be trapping with a FH, in which case, you are drawing completely dead. What do you do when a 5 hits and he goes all-in?

I don't mind taking a flop here. You've got a huge stack and a good hand to see a cheap flop. You get a well disguised draw, and a tight player bets. Good, your implied odds are good to hit now, and I don't think calling here is terrible, as long as you could make that play with trips as well on that board. When the board pairs I think either you're drawing dead or your implied odds have just died, since he'll be scared by a boat on any big bet, so I think maybe you have to fold the turn.
