3-bet size seems far too large.

you can accomplish same thing, with a far smaller bet. Also, i think C-bet it too large, once again, accomplish the same thing with a much smaller bet.

I prolly 3-bet to 48, and c-bet to the tune of $70... keeps the pot more managable. As played you really don't beat anything and you've commited yourself.

Ummmmm his squeeze size is perfectly fine. This board sucks real bad. I'd probably c/c the flop and then be done with it.

it's fine... the hands you beat will take a free showdown here so folding is very safe

Check this flop almost always for pot control.
