Default Re: When do you call down after being raised on the turn?

I sometimes have this problem as well. I don't lay it down to a turn check-raise when I should.

The only reason I can come up with to 3-bet is that by 3 betting you put the pressure back onto your opponent. Most players will give up with a bluff and possibly fold. Also, if they have something vulnerable like TP with a mid to low kicker or even top and bottom pair they will just call you and probably check to you on the river. Then you can check behind and showdown.

Basically, if you 3 bet you can fold to a cap knowing for sure that you are beat or check behind for a "free" showdown.

Thats my interpretation
