Only if you get 3-bet do you have any strong idea of where you stand.

Not true. If either of the players behind me c/c my raise, I'm giving up UI on the turn. If they both fold, I'm going into the turn more informed and with position.

Either way, it's better than investing a full bet on the turn in what "appears" to be a favorable spot, but usually isn't.
