Default When to lay down big hand OOP?

The ability to lay down a big hand is my #1 biggest leak. I know this because I've lost twice the GNP of Zimbabwe on big hands.

Villian: (11/5/3.3) Very surprised if he's NOT a poster here. Very solid player. I try to avoid him because he is better than me, but if I have to play with him, I keep him on my left. (except on this table).

Third Level: Very surprised if he doesn't respect me as well. He has to have an idea about my range especially being so far OOP.

The Problem: I don't know when it's time to lay down a hand.

The Solution: This Forum

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP2 ($51.70)
MP3 ($61)
CO ($71.75)
Button ($12.50)
Hero ($49.50)
BB ($58.70)
UTG ($79.90)
UTG+1 ($23.10)
MP1 ($26.55)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $2</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $5.5</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls $3.50.

Flop: ($11.50) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $11</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $66.25</font>, Hero.....WTF? WTF? WTF? Don't go broke with a pair. You have him crushed. Don't go broke with a pair. You have him crushed. Don't go........
