Re: who\'s right?
I don't have a problem with his play. You certainly shouldn't play all of your draws that way but you probably should play some. There are several benefits.
Many players announce that they flopped a set or a straight when they check raise 3-bet, this player is going to be harder for you to read now. Next time he pulls this move he may have the nuts and you (or anyone else that is paying attention) will have a hard time not paying him off.
You said he's not going to get any free cards, but I disagree. An early position check raise 3-bet will often get a free card or even a free showdown. That play usually puts the fear of a monster into everyone, and for good reason since most players only use it with a monster.
Finally, with 3 callers on a 4-1 shot he's almost getting the right price anyway.
