villain just sat down no reads, i find myself in this situation and dont really know what to do, if i make a normal size cbet then it basically pot committs me to the shorterstack. if i bet smaller than normal he could just push because it looks like a weak bet and since i have no reads on him i'll be left with a tough decision. whats the best line here?

looking back i should have though of this before i 3bet preflop but that is usually my standard line from a late position raiser so now that im in the situation, how do u play it?

3-bet a bit more PF. I like pushing the flop personally. If you are going to check, I think it should be to c/c not c/f...
