Thanks for the replys.  That's good stuff.  I'll definitely run some of those numbers.  This kind of analysis (I think) is the key to coming up with more accurate equity decisions post flop.  I did a little more research and ran across the "flopzilla" program which estimates the percentage of time an opponent's range hits certain flops - as well as combinations of possible hands that he is continuing with on further streets based on his opening/calling range.  I haven't played around with it very much yet, but so far it looks very promising.  If you haven't checked it out, it would definitely be worth a look.
 
Somewhat related: one of my favorite "plays" is to flat an EP raiser with a small/medium PP and then float or raise his cbet even if I don't hit a set when the flop comes out Jacks or lower.  According to the flopzilla program, a raiser with an EP opening range of around 8% will have an overpair a little less than 30% of the time.  At which point, your poket pair now has about 75% equity in the hand vs what is essentially an overcard draw.  You can raise the cbet if the raiser is looser and the flop obviously didn't hit his range or flat and evaluate on the turn.  Obviously, do the same with a set or 10+ out draw and it will make it hard for your opponent to get a good read on you.  And as an added benefit, it puts a lot of pressure on overpairs while you're playing in position.
 
Anyway, thanks for the input.  I really appreciate it.  It's always good to sanity check the math the old fasioned way.
