6-handed 1/2, Hero ($180) with AKcc from BB

Folds to villain ($150) who opens $16 from BTN, Hero 3bets to $50, he calls.

Flop ($100) 5s 4h 2c

Hero c-bets $60...

SPR on flop is between 2 and 3, if I c-bet it needs to be over 2/3 pot otherwise it looks B.S. But if this cbet gets called my turn SPR is like 0.3, what to do then?

As alternatives on flop, what about c/f, shove, or even c/shove ?

Just jam flop (if villain is likely to call off with hands like AQ or fold hands like TT) or check and get it in (if villain is likely to bet the majority of his range).

yes you're right the flop SPR is 1. sorry i'm new to NL and somehow thought stacks were double what they were.

if both villain and hero had $200 behind on the flop (still $100 in the pot) would we still shove?

Doesn't really matter if you bet $50, $60 or $100 on the flop, you are obviously calling his shove for $100 total. If he just calls (lol), all-in any turn.

Hand is played fine (if you never folded).

if both we and villain were deeper, how should we size the flop bet? say we had $200 behind on flop, we bet $60 and opponent calls. Turn pot is $220 and we have $140 behind, and we can still c/f.

But if we bet too small on flop on this texture it'll look weak. Is there an argument to checking 100% of our range here if stacks were deeper?
