I hate when I put myself in that situation. I hate checkraising ~22% of my stack on a draw out of position. Nothing worse than him calling and a blank hitting the turn. I realize that you have to make this play occasionally to balance the times you make it with a made hand. But that's the only valid reason to make the play.
I prefer to either keep the pot small by check-calling, or making a smallish bet at the flop giving myself decent odds if he calls. If he raises my flop bet, I can decide to get rid of my postitional disadvantage with a bet/3bet all in on the flop line, or I can get away from the hand if need be.
