Shove pre. If you c-bet this flop folding is out of the question and its superbad. Either check behind or shove the flop.

Edit. Its also better not to show results when you post hands.

Puzo is right, on the flop you need to call 1455 to win 8600 (6:1) so you need 16%chance of winning the hand If he does not have AK,A9 or A6 you have 18.4%...in other words when you cbet yo commit yoursef

I don't totally hate the flop iso raise sizing, but ONLY if u have a very good reason to fold to a shove. Otherwise, ya shove pre.
Check behind on flop, bet turn. R gii

Yeah I hate the flop bet, the only worse hand he can continue in the hand with is a FD, which he's going to jam anyway. Check back flop and start looking for cheap SD.
