I don't think i ever do anything else than call here preflop. Villain has to be opening very wide and calling with worse for me to 3bet strictly for value.
Flop

Hero checks,
CO bets $1,
Hero calls $1
Firstly looking at CO's range pre, he will have plenty of broadway-type hands, all his pairs and the hands that missed will be the medium to low SCs and some bare Kxx Qxx Jxx
He can be cbetting a merged range: all his broadway, top pair+, midpair OR more polar? would he bet with some hands that have very little equity when called?
What are the merits to check-raising for value? or check-calling? how would i favour one or the other? which opponent tendencies should i be highlighting?

Hero checks,
CO checks
The turn does check through, had he bet do i call again? merits of check-raising? it would be a merged turn value raise versus worse Ax and protection versus all his semi-bluffs.

Merits of leading or check/calling? Its difficult for me not to have a hand here by the river.

Sometimes i think i'm playing too many of my hands on the flop as a check-call. I've taken Ben Sulsky's line of strengthen my calling range when i think it would be more appropriate to develop a check-raising range.
What factors should i consider when deciding whether to protect my calling range AND sometimes miss value with my made hands OR have a check-raising range but be careful to balance it correctly
