Well, for what it's worth here is my philosophy on the subject. It's a bit of a generalisation (which is never a good thing) but hopefully you will understand where I am coming from.
1) If I am 1st to act - If I believe that I have the strongest hand, why would I do anything but bet? I want to get money in the pot, and a don't want to give someone with a drawing hand the luxury of a free card. Okay, so what if I don't think I have the strongest hand? Well, I ask myself "if I check, and someone bets into me, will I call or will I fold? If the answer is that I will call, I may as well bet in the first place, rather than checking then calling the bet! Okay, I may get raised but at least that gives me a little more infrmation about my opponent.
2) If I am not first to act, and someone bets into me - if I believe that I have the strongest hand, why would I not raise? If I believe I don't have the strongest hand, but I have a good drawing hand, I ask myself if I have the pot odds to call. If the answer is yes then I will call. If I don't believe that I have the best hand, and don't have the correct odds to play a drawing hand, why would I do anything but fold?
As I said before, the above is ery simplistic. It ignores the subtlties of deception, slow playing (not something that I would recommend on a regular basis anyway) check raising etc. However, if you follow the principles of 1) and 2) above (assuming that you play tight, and don't see the flop with any crap) you will find that you do not check ery often, and call even less often.
Hope this helps.
