I don't really like the combination of never 3 betting preflop and never check raising flop, but I don't feel like hijacking the thread with that discussion. Let's assume that I both have a 3 betting range preflop and a flop check raise range:

live 9 handed Limit... not Omaha.
Tag button opens, only I call in BB with KsJs.
Ad9s5s...I check, he bets
I don't 3 bet preflop with 55, A5s, A5o, A9s, A9o, 95s, ATo, A8s, A8o, A7s, A7o, A6s, A6o, nor worse Aces, so I have a decent number of strong hands to check raise the flop with(but I don't check raise all of my Aces vs tags).
My potential bluffs, in order(imo) of profitability relative to check calling:
32ss, 42ss, 43ss, 76ss, 86ss, 87ss, KJss(I 3 bet KQs), KTss, K8ss, K7ss, K6ss, K4ss, K3ss, K2ss, QTss(I 3 bet QJs), Q8ss, Q7ss, Q6ss, Q4ss, Q3ss, Q2ss, JTss, J8ss, J7ss, J6ss, /this is about where I dial back the check raise frequency to <100% vs tags/ 87s(with backdoor diamonds), 86s(backdoor diamonds), 76s(backdoor diamonds), 87o(backdoor spades), 86o(backdoor spades, 76o(backdoor spades), J4ss, J3ss, J2ss, T8ss, T7ss, T6ss, T4ss, T3ss, T2ss, 87o(no backdoors), 86o, 76o, 84ss, 74ss, 64ss, 63ss, 62ss. Naked wheel draws, JTs(backdoor diamonds), QTs(backdoor diamonds). The worse my draw the less often I check raise. If it's not on the list, I never check raise it vs tags.
When btn calls the check raise, I don't bet turn 100%. Reasons for checking:
a) made a weak pair to go along with my draw.
b) turn brings double flushdraw(I check all naked straight draws here as well as no pair no draw)
c) higher straight hits(like an 8 hits turn for example) I no longer bet the weaker straight draws.
d) basically anything that weakens my draw so significantly that I think checking is more profitable, then I check turn.
If called on the turn with KJss?

If we get called having c/r'd trying to power our way to victory UI doesn't seem like the right thing to do.
I check river expecting to win a non zero % of the pot when btn checks some busted draws. I have many many unshowdownable bluffs that I prefer to bet the river with on any runout I can think of.
