55 on a 234 board..bet the flop always?

[luckbalks]

Villain is 75/0/.2 after 20 hands.

In hindsight I should have bet the flop. For some reason I wanted to see a free turn card but the shortstack was the only person left after he bet out. He didn't have any money left so I put him all in. This is pretty much bet the flop 100% of the time?

bump.. is this just too standard to warrant an answer?

After UTG raiser checks I'd be more inclined to bet and hope to take it down. If shorty raises I call.

I think I'd just bet the flop (around $10-12) and call a shove from the shorty.
