Check-calling down to the river is not standard and almost never a good play. Honestly (imo) it's a fish move to be passive and check-calling; you are basically playing blind. Should probably lead out the flop or at least check-raise the flop for info. You can lead flop, and barrel the turn for about 1/2 or 1/3pot to at least control the pot size. If you're called down, you can check call the river.
I feel like you under value your overpairs. Play your overpairs strong in the early streets. Best case scenario you take it down flop or get good value for your overpair. Worse case scenario, you lose minimum on a pot where you dictated the size, or fold to a reraise.
