Default My new move: The Turn Check Raise

Many posters have noticed that the $11s are tightening up, so I am thinking of ways to adjust to this. One of the things I am starting to try is to steal more pots so that I have more chips come bubble time. I read a Tommy Angelo post where he said that he always believes a turn check-raiser has the goods. Instinctively, I think I always believe this as well so I thought I would try to exploit it. Has anyone had any success with this? Example:

Blinds 100/200 6 left. I have 1000ish so does villain.
I have a pretty good (not great hand) like KT in the BB. Button raises to 400 and I call.

Flop comes a non-threatening J63 (Pot 900). I will lead out with 300 trying to pick it up right there. Villain calls.

Turn comes some other card, non-threatening. I will check and re-raise if the button bets pot size or less. I think that this screams set or two pair which I think can get lots of hands to lay down. Too risky?
