How do you guys play this type of hand, its obviously awful to see a higher card when you have a big pair like that but how do you play it. I usually bet 2/3 or 3/4 the pot, and if I get raised fold. In your opinion, do you check and let your opponent be the agressor which he could easily do holding the worst hand, or take command of the hand and bet what is possibly the second best hand.
I also have a quick situation in which I'd like your opinion.
UTG raises 4x the BB to 20 I reraise to 12x the BB with QQ, after comtemplating for a while he asks how much I have and flat calls. the flop came Ace rag rag and he checked to me. At this point I had narrowed it down to AK or JJ and he checked so I figured the later. I bet 2/3 the pot and he quickly raised me all in, whoops, I fold he shows AK. Do I check there, or did I make the right play [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

This is a very situatoin dependent question. However, just calling the aggressor down is rarely the right play, because by calling you get no information. Depending on how deep the stacks are, if I'm out of position, I'll sometimes even check-raise a flop like this. If he comes over the top of that, I know I'm done.
