Default Re: Too passive out of position?

Against a passive player I will checkraise but against an aggro who can fold a hand like AK on a turnbet or a lower pocket, who will otherwise bet/bluff all way down I think calling down is the superior way.
Anyway there is a lot of metagame here: If u checkraise will he think u are just making a move? Will he reraise for a freecard? Will he just call and raise the turn?
There is a lot of factors deciding what to do and if we are not sure that he will bet himself down then I think it is in fact better to take the initiative because we are most of the times favourites. We will loose to much value if he only have overcards and check the turn. We will loose if we in fact are behind and are 3bet on the flop but that is not as much as we'll loose if villain checks on the turn with OC's.
