I understand the optimal line is to fold, but what's your read when villain makes this type of move? If I feel he's doing this with something strong I'm going to call to hit the 3 and take his stack especially because we're over 110BB's effective

{air, set, TP, draw}

in that order?

I think the timing of the move tells you more than the move itself. If they tank it's a monster, if they do it instantly it's more likely to be a bluff/semi bluff.

Timing tells are overrated. This is a fold, you only have 3 clean outs and you are not sure if he stacks off when you hit. So fold.

It is a multiway pot. People mess about less in these, and rightly so.
HU it is different, but still without a read or a strong hand(TPTK) I tend to let go. However in general I find that a flop raise means less strength than a turn raise (baluga).

In fact, we could combine all these theorems, and say that a raise signals an average hand strength proportional with street number.



Strength guide
1: Preflop could be wide range of cards
2: Flop could be a draw, air, TP +
3: Turn raise = One pair no good
4: River raise is the nuts
