Re: Top set gets raised on the river
[ QUOTE ]
I got 5 BB's via my line. If I check-raise the flop and lead the turn, I get 4 BB's.

Huh? I guess you're telling us you won. From my point of view, you got 3 BBs in with clearly the best hand, and 2 in where lots of people are telling you to just call the second bet on the river.
If you check-raise and lead, it's quite reasonable to believe that the overpair you apparently lost to would raise the turn, and you could get as many as 4 BBs in with clearly the best hand, while getting a lot more in on the turn charging anyone who does have a draw for the priviledge. Plus, you would take no risk of the turn being checked through, which would be a disaster.
I rarely use the check-call-check-raise line when I flop a strong hand. It's very common and handled well by most players.
