What type of hands are you checkraising in this scenario? Comes up alot. Say we have a good ratio of bluffing and valuebets oop, what hands should we be checkraising with? Or am i just totally overthinking this and its totally opponent specific?

Generally, I think its pretty opponent specific. C/R good hands & some bluffs against opponents that bluff too much and just value bet against opponents who miss value.

From a GTO point, I think its pretty standard to C/R hands that your comfortable putting in about 2, maybe 3 bets in on the river. Something like medium 86 sounds about right.

As for C/R bluffing, I would think its probably best when the likelihood he doesn't have a strong hand is higher. Maybe when we pair our 2 or 3 and have seen 1-2 or more 2s or 3s. I don't like C/R bluffing when we've seen a lot of high pairs because those are the hands we expect him to bluff with on the river.

Yes you could call that but Slide is suggesting (correctly) that if villain bluffs too much we should re-bluff with our 55 type hands that normally we would check/fold.

Turning those hands into checkraises?

You can play a very solid river game without doing it at all, it takes a rare type of guy to make checkraising a lot on the river correct (most guys check back too much and you miss value), I would do it every now and then with some 86 type hands but its not a huge importance to be a tough player.
