Villain hasn't voluntarily put money in the pot for about 20 hands. I was raising often. I think this tells me exactly where I am in this hand. Is this the best way to play this though?

i think i prefer a call/re-evaluate line usually. if you were oop though i'd like a raise/fold line better i think.
Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

I like it. He raises your 3-bet and tells you exactly where you stand. Muck it!
If you call and re-evalutate you have to face a minimum of one more bet on the turn/river that exceeds the cost of your $10 3-bet and you still can't be sure where you are. Worse yet you may catch a 2nd pair or trips and face tougher decisions when he likely has a set.
Well played, you lost the minimum with TPTK.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

perfectly played. If he calls my 3b im ultra suspicious and am checking any turn behind, even if I spike an A or Q, and given his tight image probably check/folding any river as well unless I improve or he bets like .00001 of the pot size.
