i dunno, i've always seen the river checkraise as weak because it's not guaranteed that your opponent will bet.  On other streets, if your opponent checks behind you, you have the next card to put in a big bet/value bet.
I just prefer leading out because if you've got a strong enough hand to check-raise with, then i wouldn't take the risk of having your opponent check behind you and lose that extra value bet on the end.  Though when the ch-r. works it does bring in a nice profit.
You make very good points JL...
as for betting the river, i wasn't 100% sure that he had the flush draw, maybe he had a smaller PP and thought i was just making a continuation bet, or he might have had a KQ or KJ type hand...so my river bet was a value bet, but as you said it is probably safer to check behind him.
Also, this is a medium strength hand by most standards, but as i said in a different thread about 2/4 shorthanded, AK hitting your K on the flop with nothing else but rags is a very strong holding; usually at this point i'm either stuck with a weaker kicker or maybe an underpair or maybe even just ace high, so my river bet was more of a value bet than anything.
