I also said that I was talking in general, it's not that I never check-raise. I do it a lot but it's such a strong move that it's pretty easy to read.

I don't see how it's any easier to read than a bet. To me, checkraising a preflop raiser with bottom pair or a draw (in a 3-way pot) seems a much stronger play than betting out. When I checkraise I could be doing with with a draw, a weak pair/ace/bluff, or a strong hand. Because I do it with a range of hands, it doesn't really make me easier to read. It just seems a waste to not use the knowledge that a bet is almost certainly coming to advantage.
