It's only good if you actually think you have the best hand and that your opponent pays off with Ace High, otherwise just check/call unless an Ace comes on the river. Better question is why are you limping with 44? Limping is suicidal in a 4 handed game, raise that up or fold.

Yeah, I'm not too sure.

Raise this preflop.Is check-raising the flop a bad idea?

I like calling the turn and donking or check/calling a safe river depending on your opponent.

Raise this preflop.

I usually fold 22-66 UTG shorthanded unless the table is particularly loose.Jeff

this is a play you've got to get out of your game. I used to do it a lot, and you feel great when it works, but it rarely works and you're just burning money when it doesnt. If you have a good read on your opponent it might be worth a shot, but those times are few and far between.

This opponent is way too aggressive for this move to work. Some opponents play draws very aggressively, so you're giving them the opportunity to push you off the best hand. Calling down will cost the same as the check-raise.
