I was min checkraised last night, and then the guy immediately went all in on the turn ~$120 into ~$150 pot. Am I correct in thinking that the min checkraise usually means a very strong hand? A min raise is a totally different animal, but with the checkraise they have to lead out into you on the next street.

I'd like to know what everyone thinks, based on past experiences.

usually means bad player trying softplay their monsters because they suck at building pots

A min raise does usually mean a monster hand that wants to get played back at. However very good and tricky opponents occasionally do this as a way to to set up a turn bluff with a drawing hand when they don't make it on the turn. Alternately, I have also seen players do this with TPTK and then set themselves in on the turn when a draw that was present on the flop didn't hit. One thing is for sure given the stack sizes - he wasn't folding to a reraise allin.
