Aaron, I'm not sure I like the turn raise in hand one.

What hand range do you put villain on when he check-raises the flop from SB?

w/o a read, I would say at least TPGK+, most likely 2pr. My default read on unknowns, even at 6max, is slightly loose and passive. Because of this I would weigh his range at 2pr+ at prolly somewhere around 70%.

So to be clear: Flop check-raise = 2 pair or better a huge percent of the time?

w/o a read to the contrary, pretty much. If this is early in the session, I want to get to showdown with this hand. If it turns out I give a bit of value on this hand by not raising the turn, I will more than make it up on future hands by exploiting this read.
