When someone raises preflop in EP, I start off by putting him on TT-AA, AK, and AQ. I modify this range depending on how well I know the player. When he just called your preflop raise, I'd take KK & AA out of his range. For the rest of the hand, I want to control the pot. I'd make a 2/3 pot bet on the flop. If he checks again on the turn, I'd bet 1/2 pot. If he then check-raises, you may be way behind. Look for the possible hands he might hold to raise the turn. Would he raise with AQ, AK, JJ, or TT (you're way ahead)? Would he do it with a slowplayed AA, QQ, or some other set (you're way behind)? Against a solid player, I'm folding the turn. By controlling the pot size, you can still get away from the hand on the turn. Against a bad player who overplays top pair, I'll probably continue with the hand. But the turn is where you have to decide if your hand is good or not.

Very nice analysis, but why do you automatically eliminate AA & KK? Lots of times if I raise and get reraised I will just call with these hands. I might call AA in order to "trap". And I might call w/KK because I don't want to get all in against an obvious AA.
