It doesn't feel right just immediately check/folding.....the first hand I was going to check/fold, but after he checks.........do you just check again? I mean, he called a large (7x BB) raise preflop, so I figure he's got something....

This second hand is just a massive frowny face in my book......on all fronts....i get called in two spots and a pretty ugly flop comes, but I bet anyway, because I don't think I can check/fold here.....bet/folding is also an option but there is NO way to tell whether those low suited connectors made two pair, or just made a draw raising for leverage and trying to push me out......but after I'm called, i'm assuming the turn is just a check/dump? What if they only had top pair on the flop and i'm folding the favorite? There's just too much guessing in this game I believe for me............
