Sometimes when I bet two pair (usually top two) or a set on the flop and get raised, I like to just call and then check-raise on the turn, but I use this tactic sparingly.

Usually, if I have a hand strong enough to check-raise, I lead out to disguise my hand and lend credibility to my bets if the hand is shown down. If you usually don't bet with a hand worthy of check-raising, then you're placing an exploitable pattern in your play.
