Well, one thing I like about check-raising in this spot is u can lay down top pair a lot easier on a later street because u showed much more strength than leading. That helps me in these spots I think...If I lead I have a tough time folding

I've actually tried checkraising the flop, and then just checking the turn and then either calling down, or betting the river if he checks behind on the turn. This way I feel like I don't give up a ton if I'm winning, but I don't risk folding a winner and I induce some bluffs.

top pair seems like a bit too good a hand to be giving free cards with, but if you had t6 here i think thats a pretty good line.
