Re: I don\'t like my line here (2/4 6-max)
I agree with this. Check/call, check/raise shows way too much strength and will get him to fold. But as I said before, it doesn't matter WHAT he has if you check/raise the flop and he reads it as weakness. He is fairly aggro, apparently, and if he truly reads your check/raise as weakness he will either push over the top of it on the flop or will call in order to bluff the turn all-in when you weak-lead it (which you will). And that way you bloat the pot on the flop which makes it worth fighting for.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying this is THE best line every time. I'm just saying that in THIS PARTICULAR situation where:
1. He's aggressive
2. He's pretty good
3. He's been running you over
4. The board is very draw heavy
5. The board is paired so it is a prime situation for you to try to get a good preflop hand to fold
I think it is a good time to make this move. I'm just saying that when I read the OP I immediatly said 'Wow! The stars are aligned PERFECTLY for a 'weak' check/raise on this flop!"
