obv. its not standard, but if you have a strong read go for it, I'm not sure what else you expect us to say

cbetting is less expensive when it doesn't work but this is fine if you expect it to work most of the time.

This is normally against lags, but two plays I like to run when people are snapping my cbets are these.
1. C/R the flop a couple of times, this will normally slow them down. If not,
2. The c/r doesnt go through on the flop(they check behind) lead the turn a few times, its like you slow played a big hand and this works well also.
I am a Tagish player though so if you are a lag they might not believe you.
Good read/play op.

very read dependant, but c/r = $$$

It's fine if used sparingly. It's a good tool against TAGs and LAGs who c-bet too much. You have bet more. Your raise was almost a min-raise. Make it $6 next time.
