my standard line here is to shove flop. if he's solid i can't see how he can be huge after flatting. you're obv not raise/folding so why wouldn't he just stick it in if he had the goods.

also i like a shove preflop

If you flat called pre you could c/f on this flop...

but when you are already in this far I agree with Djk123 that you have to shove him here especially considering his rather unconventional line...

I dont think I like a preflop shove... while it is basically the same play it has different merits then shoving as a c-bet on the flop here... basically you allow your opponent to play far to perfectly against you if you shove pre because he is just folding unless he does have a real hand this time...

Jam city, the flat call preflop is more likely to be weakness than strength imo. Any reasonable player shoves preflop with hands that beat AJ.

Why you think someone with 25 bb's is raising any 2 from EP even on the bubble I can't figure out, but as played I like shoving the flop. The flat pre seems more weak to me than strong, especially on the bubble when people like to get their monsters all in pf, so they don't have to be outplayed or begin to 2nd guess themself on a scary flop.
