I know I've bled away many big bets over the past year by checking it down, seeing their Ace-high or bottom pair, and thought "Well, it was only a big bet, and he may not have even called, and in the long run, sometimes he'll have a better hand than me, so checking it down wasn't all too bad." Wrong.

Brian is so right. A large part of your profit will come from value betting where most players are too timid. Not value betting in these spots in order to avoid the hugely rare river raise/checkraise will cost you a lot in the long run.
