I have a lot of trouble with hands that get heads up. Am I ahead, am I behind? I don't know.

<font color="purple">Villain's aggression numbers don't seem very high, so I'm a little concerned about the limp-raise. But I'm not ready to give him credit for AA or KK yet (I've seen the limp-raise a lot lately, with non-premium hands). </font>
Flop: (9.50 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, Hero calls.
<font color="purple">Should I have raised here? I figured him for AA, KK, JJ (which kill me), or a smaller pocket pair, or maybe AK, AQ. I had just read a thread about check/calling when you're either way ahead or way behind, and was applying that here, but looking back, I'm not sure if this was the correct play. I think I should raise if there's a good chance he's playing overcards, or a flush draw. If he reraises me, then I can slow down. So what do you think? Is just calling ok here? Or should I have raised?</font>

<font color="purple">Now I'm in trouble if does have AK. But I'm not ready to give it up because there's a chance he has a smaller pair. Now I think it's correct to go into call down mode. If he's ahead, I lose less. If I'm ahead, I let him continue to bluff. Correct? Or do you fold here? </font>
