AceofSpades,

This is a tough question. A general "rule" to think about these situations is the 'one stab' rule. Sometimes the clear play is check/fold. Other times it is worth it to take one stab at the pot, either with a flop bet or raise. Other times I'll check/call the flop and lead a safe turn (I still consider this one stab at the pot). The key is not to play a huge till the river with these types of hands against the preflop aggressor.
