I'd like to try this also, FP. I have the same problem. I think I'm somewhere between weak-tight & rock-tight. It gets to the point that I think my opponents pick up on it and raise me everytime I'm in the blinds because they know I'll fold hands like T9s or 88.

What's your play and your plan for the rest of the hand?
So here goes:
I'd call the check-raise and hope for more hearts or straight cards or an Ace. If a heart, A, K, or J hits the turn, I call his bet or bet his check. If those cards don't come, I'd ride out the hand to see if he only has top pair. I'd hope he doesn't have 2 pair if the board doesn't pair for me.
If this were NLHE, I'd really think hard about folding the flop for fear he has a set of Q's or Tens or 2 pair. I'd probably call a raise less than the pot. Pot or more and I'd really go into the tank. Not sure if it's worth hoping to improve when I don't know how much it will cost me later.
