On the flop, 8h5h is one of your very best bluffing hands that you can possibly have. Combine that with the button being super aggressive, and I think that checking is fine on the flop with the intention of raising as long as you're doing the same thing with most of your sets, two pairs and Qx. When he three-bets so small, calling is obvious. Note that I don't think we should be bluffing this flop very often, but that 8h5h is one of our best bluffing hands.
The flop check/raise is so good because his range is so wide and you expect him to either fold quite a bit or call down with enough that your value bets own him. When he three-bets the flop, you're hardly ever getting him to fold to a turn bet, especially on this card. Judging from your other thread with the 8h6h hand, you're probably taking it a little too far with your aggression with bluffing hands. Feel free to PM me and we can talk about it.
On the river, you're behind his range almost always.
