The flop I want to see is K 6 T rainbow where I bet and he folds. Not that and another raise.

I did sharkscope him after the fact...20 games total, slight loser

I just limp this pre. As played after raising 80 and being played back at, I muck because nice spots arise very frequently in 6.50's. There's a chance villain is coming back at you with an AJ, AQ, AK, or maybe even a cheeky donk with AT, but I think this is more often a pocket pair, maybe 99-AA. Considering the edge a decent player has at this level, it's probably not necessary to take what will be a coinflip or worse about 70% of the time. As played on the flop, I shove after SB's check. As played on the flop if you toss in 320 and villain repops you, I still ship it. I think once the flop is out and you're made, there is enough in the pot to shove at. I'm exhausted so I hope that made sense.

Um, you should want him to at least call.

I think the chance you're drawing two runner runner after his check-min-raise after the 3-bet pre-flop is close to 99%. I agree with your fold there.

I also would consider folding pre-flop to his 3-bet lacking a read. Most players have a veryyy narrow 3-betting range.

i really think pf is the key here. pushing or folding are way better than calling imo.
