I've been experimenting with checking back some flops in position as the PFR, but am still having some troubles. I feel like this type of flop smacks their preflop ranges hard and I have very little fold equity with a C-bet. That said, I not sure what type of hands I should be checking back. Assume SB is a weaker player and BB a regular.

I think hands like AK-A9, KT/K9, QT/Q9 might be good candidates? Should we be checking back any hands with a pair like A5, 44, maybe 96s?

I think this is fine but you should probably call turn and make a river decision. You have to make some icky calldowns when you check back flops, they know you are weak, the question is how will they react to that knowledge. Also I could see an argument for checking this exact flop with nearly your whole range, and just raising some turn cards
