explain your reasoning and find out! either you'll learn something, or find out that your reasoning is sound. Both are good, and everyone here (regs et al) may learn something from what you have to say.
Ok, my reasoning...

Check raising is 'fancy play' in my case, and I avoid fancy play, also I am looking to build a pot in this situation, and checking when ahead leaves the opponent a chance to catch up... I am wanting to bet this, but not price the opponent out of it, so we build the pot while we are ahead...
