You can counter preceived weakness with a check-raise from time to time - usually with a strong enough hand to justify it. So sometimes you follow a pf raise with a continuation bet and other times you're setting up a check-raise. Trouble with on-line tourneys is the players move from table to table and so often they may have trouble picking up on this or they're totally unaware in the first place and won't know the difference anyway. But if you're read is that the opps is aware, an occational check-raise will also set up an occational free card when you have check but were only going to call on a draw.
