On the topic of when it's better to check to induce a bet compared to when it's better to bet yourself, it can be useful to look at a model situation. The most basic scenario for this is being OOP on the river with one bet left heads-up. I've attached a zip file with a simple spreadsheet that gives you the EV of this situation based on a handful of variables. This will allow you to look at different situations and the EVs of those situations without having to do any math.
