I'm no genius, LA, but I would have played it the same as you. I can see the arguments for the check-raise, and I guess this is one of the few times in NL where you'd want to check-raise a flop. But personally I hate this move because of all the trouble it's gotten me into in the past, and much prefer to take one stab at this pot before shutting down if called by both.
