Active versus passive blind defense hand #3

[catlover]

I am looking at situations where I choose to defend my blind versus a steal raise and flop a pair. In these situations I think it is frequently very close between taking an active line (check-raise the flop, lead the turn, etc) and a passive line (check-call, check-call, check-call).

All comments are appreciated.

For what it's worth, I ran this through Poker Stove, assuming that my opponent's range for the button openraise here is the same as mine.

My hand had 54% equity on the flop, and 48% on the turn.
