What are villian's pre-flop raising standards? By default, I'd tend to put him on AA/KK/QQ/AK. Maybe AQ. You check-raised the flop and he called. The chances of him having AK/AQ just went way down I think. I'm done with the hand.

Having said that, I think I like firing out a $10 bet on this flop rather than check-raising. If he has AK/AQ, you'll take it right there. If he calls/raises, I'm done with the hand unless I can get a cheap showdown. Alternatively, I might just check-fold this flop.

The problem with check-raising is that when he calls, you're very likely to be behind, but now you've built a big pot that it will be more difficult to get away from.
