in general check-raising is over-rated. Leading with your hands disguises them better and allows you to get paid off more often. Check-raising allows your opponets to get away from their hands and make big laydowns. example: you have a small PP and opponet makes a stand PF raise, you hit your set on a flop with an ace and lead out for 2/3 the pot. Opponet is holding AK and raises you and you can move in. example 2: same hand, but you check and he bets 2/3 the the pot and you put in a decent raise, he can safely assume u have TPTK beat and fold.
times when you may want to checkraise- on a big draw to buy a free card or maybe take the pot down right there, in limit to get extra bets into the middle, and throwing in a big bluff check-raise sometimes to slow down an aggressive opponet
and you are correct, you never want to try to check-raise on a draw heavy board where your opponets might be drawing to beat you, if you are going to try to check-raise you must be pretty sure your opponet is going to bet
