Default Dealing with a check raise

Villain is loose preflop and c bets a lot, he's not that good though, I have been going at it often with him and have not seen a check raise yet.

Villain (sb): 130
Hero (BB) : 180

.5/1
hero dealt Ad7d

all folds to villain who raises to 4, hero calls

flop: 2c6h7h
pot: 8
villain checks, hero bets 6, villain raises to 18, hero calls

turn: Td
pot: 44
villain leads 28, hero??

I think my hand is good here, but have become a pussy because i don't deal well with check raises. I am not positive that my hand is ahead, just have a feeling it is.
What is the best play? Should I raise since I feel there is a chance that villain is drawing or just call down because I'm not 100% on my read? If I raise and he is drawing, he will call a 3-4x raise of his bet, I know that.

does he follow through on his checkraise bluffs to exploit the "call and re-evaluate turn" line? when theres alot of history with somebody i dont mind calling turn/folding river. but i hate that as much as calling flop/folding turn.

I cannot say for sure because this is the first time he check raised me, but I can imagine him getting aggressive and betting turn with air because I have been a maniac at the table and specifically picked on him a lot. So a draw or overs is possible here, I'm just kinda nervous after the check raise, that's all. I was planning on calling turn/folding river.

He is valuebetting 99+. At least he is representing it. I don't see how you can call the turn bet unless you are willing to play for stacks, in which case you should shove.

I would be very surprised to see him show 99+ here, the flop check really threw me off, but I think he would bet an over pair here. You think I should check this flop back?

You have to bet this flop. But when you have TPTK on a 7 high board, you need to not usually commit.

meh if you have a read that he c/r bluffs alot I would call down, but if this is the first time you've see a c/r, then I think this is a overpair trying to take you to valuetown more often than it is fps. I would also 3 bet pre in a blind battle, but w/e.

Fold preflop. On flop push to his check raise. Plenty outs and fold equity to his range.
