Default Re: when it would be painfully obvious you have the nuts...

when i check raise one bet it has not been getting respect. when someone bets and another guy raises (fwiw i think his range here is clubs or a stone cold bluff a huge amount of the time given the action to him... two checks around and a weak ass bet into this big pot) if i were to check raise here then it would get respect.

but this mostly has to do with this guy's range which really to me is a bluff too often to make a raise on the turn profitable.

but coldcalling a bet and a raise sets off alarm bells too. you said you think he's on clubs or a stone bluff a high percentage of the time here; if he's on a pure bluff, i don't think he's firing again anyway after your turn play (very rarely, at least), but if he's on clubs then you want to put money into the pot while he's drawing live. i also think you lose value against pocket deuces or Q9s, the kind of hands he could've limped with on the button after a couple other limpers.
