Players who check-raise too much have a tendancy that is easy to exploit.

Exactly. Check behind and take a free card, raising the river when you hit, otherwise drawing and folding for free. Result of the check-raise: 0 BB if he misses, -2 BB if he hits, -4 BB when he has a better hand to start with, +1 BB if he has a mediocre hand.

Compare to betting out: +1BB if he misses, -2 or 3BB if he hits, -3BB if he has a better hand, +2BB if he has a mediocre hand. As he will more often either miss or havew a mediocre hand, betting out is better than check raising.
