I'm wondering how stupid it is to bluff raise here. This is rush poker and the guy WAS from Finland. I barely ever 3bet bluff flops like this but when the range he reps is so narrow and he has to fold out basically everything but a Qxxx hand is this a reasonable spot to bluff given I probably have...some equity vs a Qxxx hand?

I don't like it and think you're going to be outleveling and stacking yourself more than you'd like. I think people are playing more straightforward (esp in RUSH) than you think (even Fins!). Is that your standard flop bet size on a board like this? If you were at a non rush table and you think you induced him to raise the flop with air then it might be good, but otherwise i default to pitching it rather than 3betting or calling oop here.

Its not terrible. However before considering this play I'd need a read on this actual opponent, not a read on his countrymen.

vs. people from Finland I generally tend to wait for a little more hand than this, though I will say that when they raise very small, they tend to be very very very polarized, so it can't be that bad.

I think this is OK. Maybe bet a little more on the flop so you give your 3-bet a better price.
