if he 3-bets the turn or bets into me on the river, i can assume he has hand #3 - he probably has me beat and i can fold.

You called the river...

This is why I don't understand the turn raise. You said that the villian is a frequent bluffer. Agasint these types of players, you should induce them to bluff more. By raising the turn, you are in effect stopping a river bluff. This is counter-productive against the player you describe. Call the turn. Let him bluff again on the river and throw his money away.

this is where i am being misquoted. i never said he is a bluffer. i only mentioned that he bet with middle pair in a previous hand. btspider introduced that possibility
