Not crazy about the flop c/r. I'd just c/c from the flop on down.

and get 2.5 bb in when behind and 1.5 when ahead pretty much.

playing like this makes the ratio of betsLost:betsWon large when playing against someone who won't fold QQ or KK on this board. playing aggressively lowers the ratio.

i personally mix up my play here. i used to never donk the flop into the preflop capper, but now i do often, for a few reasons:
1. no one folds a pair
2. some guys call and raise turn with KK or raise the flop with TT thinking i'm bluffing and they want to end it soon.
3. some people i play with actually check behind QQ/KK and call turn/river bets.

i'll sometimes c/c flop and donk turn if i think he's the type to bet flop, check turn ,call river.

Donking the flop into the preflop capper is a perfectly fine play in the right spots - I sometimes view it as being "well I would have 5-bet you preflop if I could!". I tend to c/c this flop rather than c/r, many because the only worse ace that is potentially capping for value preflop is ATs.
