I like it all except the flop checkraise HU.

flop checkraise is pointless.

I like it, but does anyone like calling the flop and popping the turn? The problem is, the steal is so predictable. I'll raise preflop, you 3-bet, I'll call. We'll see a flop, I'll check to you and you'll bet, I'll checkraise, you'll call, then we'll go to war on the turn. Do you think a stop-n-go might be slightly better?

I'm referring to ANY turn, not just the flush completing turn we have here.

If the BB hadnt folded then the checkraise would still be of some use. After he folds I just call. Everything else looks good though.

Misread your post. I like flowers.

I like this. The fear is that when we do this play when we hit, it suddenly cools off, though we're good for another bet. When we don't hit, he may come back over us, which would suck given the equity we've lost.

Perfect.

Checkraising this flop is completely worthless. I can't think of any 3betting hand that will ever lay this down at any point. All it will do is shut JJ or KK down, where they would have bet and called turn checkraises. No one is weaktight enough to fold a pair on this board. In addition, you're going to be facing a 3bet a good percentage of the time as well as at lest a 1.5-1 dog, and often worse.
