On low to middle flops that hit the pre-flop caller a little bit better than the pre-flop raiser total betting frequency is indeed lower. In those circumstances we check overcards without a flush draw or good blockers, marginal made hands like pocket pairs < flop high card, and total junk.

Even though the pre-flop caller is more likely to hit (a draw to) the nuts the pre-flop raiser still has range advantage with all the overpairs. As such, c-betting for a large sizing (somewhere between 60-80%) with all the overpairs or better, balanced with almost all or all flush draws is a fairly easy strategy to approach equilibrium.

Against aggressive maniacs or regs it's sometimes good to check your best hands so I don't dislike the check-raise here. Especially because you unblock the major drawing hands that they're likely to make a calling mistake with. That is all villain dependent though and against most of the microstakes player pool, there's less incentive to trap and more incentive to value bet even with your best hands. Defaulting to c-bet 100% of value combo's and only check-raising as the pre-flop caller is at the very least easier to remember and maybe even better against the majority of the playerpool.
