Doyle Brunson once said that he refuses to go broke in an unraised pot (or something to that effect.) I think a check raise would have given you the information you needed in that hand. Maybe not, if your intent was to go all-in anyway it went down. If he then calls your check raise or comes back over the top, you should then evaluate the situation more closely (especially being close to an average stack at that point. Playing the two pair wasn't the mistake, it was check/calling off your whole satck that was. I realize that that is sort of what you wanted him to do, but a bet or raise on the flop or turn would have allowed you to possibly get away from the hand. Then again, what do I know?
