What's wrong with checking to see what the action will be?

Nothing, as long as you mind giving 77 a license to run our your 'missed overs'.

How can I tell I am beat with a raise? Villain could easily have a pair plus open ended or two pair.

[/ QUOTE ]

By raising you are defining your hand. Sure villain could be raising a draw here, so you call and slow down.

Once I get heads up with an aggressive player, shouldn't I make a big checkraise, maybe allin, since I am fairly short stacked?

[/ QUOTE ]

If you think the aggro will fall for it. I almost never will call someone who raises pre-flop and then c/r the flop all-in. What hands other than AA, KK or the virtual nuts does that? You are only getting a call if you are beaten or if villain has an under set.

There is 75 in the pot and I have 130. I would be happy to get villain to fold an open ended or a straightdraw plus pair. If villain calls with 2-pair, I am not in terrible shape considering pot odds. Also villain might put me on a draw and call with a weaker made hand.
