pf, your play may be better than mine.

i'm less apt to believe a flop 3bet than a turn raise. i mean, let's go over the hand:

villian raises, you 3bet, he calls.

you check, villian bets, you raise, he calls.

you bet, villian raises.

either

a.) he's bluffing and somehow expects you to fold after you've put in a ton of action

or

b.) he's getting extra value out of a good hand

or

c.) he's a maniac/idiot and likes to hit raise.

i think B is most likely here. just out of experience. whenever i check raise the flop, get called and then popped on the turn, i'm usually hosed and it's not a play. it could be a semi-bruff/free-showdown raise from a tough player but i don't think this is the case here.
