Thing is, I'm not often OOP when I'm not the preflop raiser, since I hardly ever call preflop raises OOP. That means I don't get the opportunity to check-raise very often at all. According to PT, I've check-raised the flop 43 times in 37k hands this month. In about half of those hands I was actually the preflop raiser. In the other 20, I check-raised with draws, with complete air, with sets and with overpairs.

My problem here is that if you check/raise and they push, you basically have to fold. Therefore, whenever you check/raise, they can push every time, and it's money down the drain.

Why do you have to fold to their push? You can check-raise hands you're willing to stack off with as well. In fact, it's probably best, because people seem to call down check-raises really light. Or are you talking about check-raising with air?
