This hand the CO is very loose and a bit laggy.

I believe my flop bet was too small. The board is very wet, and even though I flopped strongly, I don't want to give decent odds to flush draws, straight draws or both. I think a bet of 75% to a full pot size would have been better. Also, if the villain does have a hand they like this is more likely to get the stacks into the middle.
On this board, the strongest likely hand I can put the villain on is QcJc. With his showing some history of 3Bets PF, I think it is unlikely he has AA, and even mixed in to his flop raising range, I am way ahead.
As played for my initial C-Bet, was my Flop 3B too small? I am hoping to get him to put his whole stack in, which does happen. But I can't be sure this play was still correct. I do believe we need to protect against possible draws with our strong hand. By raising to $6.30 the villain has to call $3.65 for a $10.90 pot which is similar to having bet ½ pot size for the initial C-Bet. A bet of $10 would have made it $7.25 to a pot of $14.60 and like a pot size bet.
