it looks like BB wanted u in the hand with the weak PF 3bet...

he shoved over ur flop raise...with no reads, i fold this as we beat 10s and not much else on a rainbow flop...

Hmm yeh your almost always beat here. Fold. I might flat call flop and re-eval turn.

[shpanko]

Why'd you raise the flop?

[cassette]

Since you don't have a read on this player I would call the flop and fold to a decent bet on the turn UI. There is no reason to be rasing this flop unless you have a read Villain is a super nit and can fold QQ+.

Flops raise stinks, you turned your hand into a bluff.

[Grunch]

Everyone is saying that the flop raise is *bad*, and I disagree. However I will often just call, esp in a pot RRed from a blind.

That said, given the way you actually played the hand, I definitely fold to the flop push.

I just mean that the raise isn't -EV. It may not (or may) be optimal, but it's not a losing play.

i fold this all day long.
