Yea for some reason people at .fr seem to bluff check-raise flops all the time. I don't know if it's written in some french poker book or something that you should do that, but it works really well against these people to station down against their flop cr's in general.

This spot still sucks though, but his sizings don't look very convincing to me and I'd probably just sigh stick it in.

Hey guys, thanks for the posts. I am new to .fr and unfortunately folded in this spot.
I thought his bluff range was v thin and that my hand was pretty face up on the flop and he seemed pretty excited with his shove as he tried to slightly delay it. This is why i just about came to the conclusion i may not be good but i certainly was not sure. I also thought i had a decent playable stack to work with and took the conservative route.

I think a recent 3B spot OOP where a guy flatted with J10 could have been at the back of my mind LOL!

Thanks for the info Chuck
