Personally, I think your check-raise was a good amount - about the size of the total pot (pot=28, your raise=26). Anything more is a gross overbet (which may induce a call for being so strange). If your goal was to increase the volitility of this guy with your check raise, I like the play.

The play pre-flop was a bit suspect, your stack's M=~60 so these kinds of plays are ok once in a while I guess, however, you need a big pay-off to make them profitable from just a call let alone a raise. Do you make this play a lot, i.e. do you like to call a raise with SCs and small PPs in this spot? Did you consider your position after the flop? I'd like to hear your thoughts here, maybe I can learn something.

It almost worked out, I am assuming he sucked out on you with that T though...
