Facing a turn reraise with TPTK

[Frank Zappy]

Well, let's see, he coldcalled 2 bets PF, checked/called the flop then bet and raised on the turn so it's a virtual certainty that he made the hand he's representing, because we all know that a poker players would never try to play the board against us even when they only have a tiny piece of the board. Misrepresenting your hand may even be illegal in certain parts of the world.

If we had the nuts we could think about calling, but since he raised (!) it can only mean we fold TPTK and never bother to find out more about our opponent.

This way, next time the same situation comes up, we'll face the same decision: Call (or raise) with the nuts or fold.

Why bother using a hand like TPTK to maybe actually win the freaking pot or worse case risk another 2 or 3 bets to learn more about our opponent?

I could be WRONG and face terrible consequences of LOSING 2 or 3 BETS and then having to face the shame of coming here and posting and being made to feel greater shame for playing in such a wreckless and thoughtless manner.
