Default Checkraising in EP, multiway pot

When I post here I always get complaints that I CR the flop from EP in raised multiway pots with stuff like AK, KQ when a K hits and there are no big draws out there. Or if I have pocket aces or kings.
Do you guys always bet out when you hit? I thought that the standard way of dealing with these situations was, check and hope for a late position bet (unless the table and especially LP players are passive) so you can CR the field and get it HU if possible. I don't always do this, but if the pot is raised, it is 5 people on the flop and I feel that it will be checked to LP who will bet this is what I normally would do.
Would you CR more than 50 % of the time in the above scenario?

I'd bet because I don't like it when its checked through. I'd only checkraised if I knew someone in LP was the type to bet when checked to them or aggressive. Betting out is usually more effective than checkraising.

I know, that's why I wrote "I don't always do this ... this is what I normally would do"
The question was more like, would you do it most of the time?

With AK, KQ, AA, or KK, you are raising preflop, right? So why not bet the flop?

Generally, check-raising when you were the only preflop aggressor is very bad, because you don't know where the bet is coming from, and it is especially likely that there won't be a bet for you to raise.
