Re: $60 My play here made me throw up a little.

Well, I was thinking about a bigger bet on the flop but I think this bet is good, for multiple reasons.
1) If your c-bets are always half the pot, you can't bet the flops you hit more because it becomes too easy to read.
2) There aren't any draws to shut out. No one is gonna call you with a gutshot, no flush draws.
3) You're either WA/WB so if you have to fold the turn you've invested less. If you bet 175 on the flop you have to bet even more on the turn and you become committed.
I think it's either some braindead kid calling with some weak pair or TT, maybe JJ.

Most of the points you mentioned that I agree with are pretty obvious/elementary. Pertaining to why I always would bet more on flop: If youre c-bet looks weak, it can easily be perceived as weakness to opponents, inviting action. TPTK gets tough after turn and river, esp with perceived weakness. Any scare cards and a LAG villain is prettty aware that he can steal the pot. Who says you have to bet the turn? The whole point of a bigger flop bet is to establish strength and win the pot.
**thought pot was bigger on flop, I'd bet 150-175, either way
