Playing heads up with pocket pairs |

Can someone explain the proper strategy when you're holding a high pocket pair playing heads up against another perosn who is also holding a high pocket pair?
e.g. Both players raise 3x BB preflop. I hold QQo, he holds JJo. Flop is all rags. I bet the pot. He calls. Turn is a rag. Do you bet again here, or check-call, or check raise?
This is one of the situations I hate most, just b/c it's such a crap shoot as to who has the higher pair, unless your holding rockets.
Thanks

Exactly. In my opinion its a total crap shoot. Depends on how much you want to gamble with it. Also depends if its tourny, cash or SnG. If in a tourny and it would cost me my whole stack, no way. Cash, if I felt lucky, I'd do it. SnG, depends how many people left and if I have the guy covered or not.
