I'd be c-folding the flop as we miss totally and there are very few turns that actually improve our hand. After they call the flop bet, I'm basically giving up.

I also feel your cbet size is too big, I'd have made it around $2.25 or so, as it is on the turn, we don't really have too many options due to the SPR.

I would cbet flop as we have good equity with our flush draw and one over. We don't have any SD value and our opponent's range will include a lot of hands that missed this flop.
As he seems to call 3bets a lot and doesn't like to fold to cbets on flop I would barrel most turn cards and would expect him to fold a good amount of the time.

Im all for cbet flop. We can for sure get tons of folds vs a normal range and since we have so good equity we can continue to fire turn and potentionally rivers.

As played i would c/c the turn too. Now we have SD value I dont need to bluff.

Yeh turn is a pretty straight up call for me. We have showdown and outs vs over pairs.

I feel like you have to cbet this flop when you 3bet with a marginal hand like that since a flush draw is about as much as you can hope for equity wise.

As played you have enough equity and showdown value to check/call and while the situation is less than ideal given the lack of position, folding is most likely too weak.
