Re: 2nd set question?
As a beginning player, I think that nut peddling (that is, betting/raising only when you have the nuts) is a reasonable way to learn the game and bet profitable. However, you will eventually need to open up your game and learn how to play 2nd nuts, underfulls, big draws, trips, etc to maximize your profits.
That being said, with 2nd set, I think the best approach is to bet out (half to 1x pot depending on your style), and fold to any raise, which likely puts someone on aces. The other possible play is to check-raise as you said, which I think is very reasonable. You don't need to raise full pot.
