huh? So only sophisticated players do this?

Most players in the $25 games on party are fairly straightforward. You'll see some rampant slowplay now and then, but for the most part, they bet it if they have it and check-call if they are drawing. Giving that he checkraised here after the PFR bet out and you called, it is much more likely that he has a real hand and not a draw. With no reads, I would fold. If I knew he'd do this with a pair and a straight draw, an OE straight draw, etc, etc, I'd push most of the time.

Even if it has to be a made hand:

This checkraise is never QJ? Or, much less likely, Q5/J5.

Or a QJ/straight or flush draw combo?

A lot of people will checkraise a preflop raise and a call with anything that beats AA, because "preflop raises always have AA"

With this stack size I get it in every time on this flop.

Edit: Worth mentioning that your blockers make it less likely you are in set over set, but it does decrease your equity versus draws because your have your own redraw. Especially vs. QJT9 w/ diamonds, or something similar, you are in some trouble. I still think it's a close push versus his range.
