Re: NL - unimproved middling overpairs (best line in theory)
Personally, I agree with Mook.
If you assume you are behind after a flop where you have an overpair, you're going to have a real hard time making money IMO. A 3.5 raise from the average player preflop could be anything from 78s to AA in my experience.
And on a board that pairs low or has a low straight draw on it, the CR is going to get a fold from most anyone who does not have you beat. Remember, you JUST CALLED pre-flop, and depending on position and how many limpers there were you could have been calling with almost anything.
If you're scared CR-ing will be too expensive, then make a pot sized bet on the flop.
Just my .02
