usually you should check-raise only when you planned on check-raising. doing it just because you see a weak bet is extremely exploitable, if i sense weakness and i already checked then typically i will take it away on a later street. 1, because its more believable and 2, you win more by taking it on a later street because he might make another weak ass bet. the only time i ever check-raise when it wasnt my first intention is when there is a good hand that is perfectly represented by my play thus far. and completing here is most definitely not a leak, nor is not completing. there is no obvious expected value here, it depends on table dynamics whether it is positive or negative.
