Check-raising on the river

Last night, I had a short and sweet session. I won my largest pot on hand 8, when I check-raised on the river. I'd been dealt 7c Jc, and the flop came Ac 8c 2h. The turn card missed me, but I hit my flush on the river. I was the first to act, and checked. I knew if I bet anything, I might not get any callers. When one of my two remaining opponents bet $2,000, and the other called, I raised it up to $4,000. Both of them called, and I won a pot worth $16,000.

The beauty of the check-raise is that if you only use it sparingly, your opponents will have no way of knowing if you're bluffing. As a matter of fact, I never bluff check-raise; that's a fine tactic to use when you're heads up, but it doesn't fly when you have more than one opponent. The only times I check-raise are when I'm sure I have the best hand, and want to extract the most profit I can from the pot.
