Pre-flop I would raise like between 2 and 2,5x.
Post flop a half pot Cbet is more than enough on a pretty dry board I think.
I don't think I can fold on the shove. Villain can have a flush draw and a better over pair seems unlikely, but is villain depended.

Cheers,

Why raise 2x or 2.5x?

Isn't 3x the standard?

3x is standard at the beginning of a tournament, but is a little bit old school style.
Now we most of the time min raise on every position except the SB I think.

I think is more important to have the same opening bet for every range , if you open 3x with top range and 2x with bottom range then it is rong . Sb have a lot there and that hand plays by himself. Gl next time !

Indeed, but on the micro's you get away with a bet sizing tell like that.
