OK. I completely follow your points on raising and understand them.

But lets say your opponent lays down a 3x continuation bet and is a rather LAGy player. It's likely he has nothing at this point (a post-oak bluff) or maybe a pair, but you don't want to give him the opportunity to reraise because he's a maniac and is likely to come over the top. You want to get your draw at this point because you figure on great implied odds against him, but you don't want to pay through the nose for the draw.

Would you consider making a quick call to give the impression of strength, or would you drag it out? Or do you think its not important?
